Lyndon B. Johnson (1908–1973) was the 36th President of the United States, serving from 1963 to 1969 after John F. Kennedy's assassination. A master legislator from Texas, he drove the Great Society programs, including civil rights legislation, Medicare, and the War on Poverty, but his legacy was marred by the escalation of the Vietnam War.
