On the day JFK was assassinated, more than ten percent (four) of all US Presidents had been assassinated by gun shot while serving in that office.
Certainly historians and academics were available beforehand, during, and after the publication of the WC Report to counsel congress to establish
procedural legislation in the event JFK or any of his successors suddenly met a similar fate as Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley, as well as the close
calls experienced by President elect FDR followed by President Truman in his temporary Blair House residence, but it seems no protocols were ever
established and even institutional memory had no influence on those making decisions as to what happened in the aftermath of JFK's death at Parkland
as well as the fate of the building and the business officially determined to be the source of the gun fire resulting in JFK's death.
What explains the startling disparity resulting in the unlawful removal of the body of JFK from Dallas and "business as usual" at the TSBD after Nov. 22, 1963?Did the owner and businesses of the TSBD possess some sort of juice or had something changed related to supremacy of ownership/property rights in 98 years?

Assassination of President Lincoln
On April 14, 1865?just five days after General Lee's surrender at Appomattox Court House?Lincoln and his wife attended a performance of Our American Cousin at Ford's Theatre. The famous actor John Wilkes Booth, desperate to aid the dying Confederacy, made his way into the presidential box and shot Lincoln. Booth then jumped down to the stage, and escaped through a rear door.[3][4][5]
Following the assassination, the United States Government appropriated the theater, with Congress paying Ford $88,000 in compensation,[6] and an order was issued forever prohibiting its use as a place of public amusement. Between 1866 and 1887, the theater was taken over by the U.S. military and served as a facility for the War Department with records kept on the first floor, the Library of the Surgeon General's Office on the second floor, and the Army Medical Museum on the third. In 1887, the building exclusively became a clerk's office for the War Department, when the medical departments moved out.

On June 9, 1893, the front part of the building collapsed, killing 22 clerks and injuring another 68. This led some people to believe that the former church turned theater and storeroom was cursed. The building was repaired and used as a government warehouse until 1911.
It languished unused until 1918. In 1928,[7] the building was turned over from the War Department Office to the Office of Public Buildings and Parks of the National Capital. A Lincoln museum opened on the first floor of the theater building on February 12, 1932?Lincoln's 123rd birthday.[8] In 1933, the building was transferred to the National Park Service......

Aftermath
An autopsy was performed later on the morning of McKinley's death; Mann led a team of 14 physicians. They found the bullet had passed through the stomach, then through the transverse colon, and vanished through the peritoneum after penetrating a corner of the left kidney. There was also damage to the adrenal glands and pancreas. Mynter, who participated in the autopsy, later stated his belief that the bullet lodged somewhere in the back muscles, though this is uncertain as it was never found. After four hours, Ida McKinley demanded that the autopsy end. A death mask was taken, and private services took place in the Milburn House before the body was moved to Buffalo City and County Hall for the start of five days of national mourning. McKinley's body was ceremoniously taken from Buffalo to Washington, and then to Canton......
