>From the article:
"Following the ordeal of the funeral, Jacqueline resolved to leave the
White House as quickly as possible. Before departing, she had a plaque
inscribed with the words “In this room lived John Fitzgerald Kennedy,
with his wife Jacqueline, during the two years, ten months, and two
days he was president of the United States” and placed it in the
Lincoln bedroom. (The Nixons would later have the plaque removed.)"
