LYNDON B. JOHNSON

Lyndon B. Johnson was the 36th President of the United States of America from 1963 to 1969 after serving as the Vice-President of the U.S. from 1961 to 1963. He succeeded President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963 after Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. He was re-elected in 1964, and could have run again in 1968, but opposition to the Vietnam war led him to decide to not run, and his Vice President Hubert Humphrey ran instead, and was defeated by Richard Nixon. Johnson passed away in 1973 at the age of 65.
