Lyndon Baines Johnson<\/b>\u00a0popularly known as\u00a0Lyndon Johnson or LBJ<\/b>\u00a0born on August 27, 1908 was the thirty-sixth President of the United States from 1963 to 1969.<\/p>\n

Johnson<\/b>\u00a0was sworn in as President on the venue Air Force One situated in Dallas at Love Field Airport on November 22, 1963. He was sworn in the presence of Federal Judge Sarah T. Hughes. He was the first President sworn in by a woman.<\/p>\n

After serving many years in the U.S. Congress,\u00a0Johnson<\/b>\u00a0became the thirty-seventh Vice President, and eventually in 1963, he succeeded to the president seat after President John F. Kennedy’s assassination. He was a prime leader of the Democratic Party and as President he built his Great Society, consisting of liberal legislation that incorporated civil rights laws, Medicare that is the health care for the aged, Medicaid which was the health care for the poor, aid to education, and a publication “War on Poverty”. Meantime, he escalated the American involvement in the Vietnam War.<\/p>\n

He was elected President with his own merit in 1964, but his popularity started to decline after 1966. He took a back seat from the party politics and concentrated deeply into the process of peacemaking.<\/p>\n

Lyndon Johnson<\/b>\u00a0was renowned for his tyrannizing personality and powerful contacts with popular politicians. In 1971 after his retirement, he published his memoirs in his book\u00a0the Vantage Point<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Lyndon Johnson<\/b>\u00a0was honoured after his death on January 22, 1973, with a state funeral that included all the people of Texas and Congressman J.J. Pickle and former Secretary of State Dean Rusk who gave an eloquent speech on his achievements.<\/p>\n
