Did Lyndon B. Johnson cheat?

Lyndon B. Johnson, often referred to as LBJ, served as the 36th President of the United States from 1963 to 1969. He is known for his ambitious domestic agenda, the "Great Society," aimed at eliminating poverty and racial injustice.

Lyndon Baines Johnson was born on August 27, 1908, in Stonewall, Texas. He grew up in a modest household and worked his way through Southwest Texas State Teachers College, where he graduated in 1930.

In 1934, Lyndon B. Johnson married Claudia Alta "Lady Bird" Taylor. Together, they had two daughters, Lynda Bird and Luci Baines. Lady Bird was instrumental in her husband's political career and was known for her advocacy for beautification projects.

Johnson's political career began in the House of Representatives in 1937. He later served as a U.S. Senator, becoming the Senate Majority Leader. As Vice President under John F. Kennedy, he ascended to the presidency following Kennedy's assassination in 1963.

Johnson's presidency is marked by significant achievements, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the establishment of Medicare and Medicaid under his "Great Society" programs.

Johnson's presidency faced significant challenges, especially regarding the Vietnam War. The escalation of U.S. involvement and the controversial Gulf of Tonkin incident led to widespread protests and damaged his popularity.

Johnson created several programs under his "Great Society" initiative, including Head Start, the Economic Opportunity Act, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, aiming to improve education, healthcare, and urban development.
