Started smoking again after he left the White House in 1969, and put on weight. In April 1972 he suffered a third heart attack, but would not give up his old habits. "I'm an old man", he once explained, "so what's the difference? My body it just aging in its own way.".

Before he announced he would not run for reelection in 1968, his opponent, Richard Nixon declared his intention to seek the GOP nomination. Critics called a choice between Nixon and Johnson "a choice between obscenity and vulgarity!".

He was an admirer of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was rumored he did not attend the state funeral of Sir Winston Churchill in 1965 because Churchill had not attended Roosevelt's funeral twenty years earlier. Officially Johnson did not attend because he had a heavy cold.

In 1964, Johnson won the Presidency with 61 percent of the vote and had one of the widest popular margin in American history--more than 15,000,000 votes. To date, no candidate, Democrat or Republican, has managed to best his 1964 electoral result (Richard Nixon, however, did come close and won 60.7% of the popular vote).

Thirty-sixth president of the United States of America, 22 November, 1963 - 20 January, 1969.

Vice President of The United States (20 January 1961 - 22 November 1963).

Johnson had spent 20 years fighting civil rights legislation prior to becoming president. He was able to change the Civil Rights Act of 1957 to the point that it became practically meaningless. He reversed his position only when a new voting block of black people became inevitable and he became determined to keep them from going to the Republicans.

Smoked 60 cigarettes a day until having a near-fatal heart attack in 1955.

In 1953, he became the youngest Minority Leader in Senate history, and the following year, when the Democrats won control, Majority Leader.

Served in the U.S. Senate, 3 January 1949 - 3 January 1961. Had been simultaneously elected vice-president and reelected to the Senate in November 1960; resigned from the Senate to become vice president on 20 January 1961.

Served in the U.S. House of Representatives, 10 April, 1937 - 3 January, 1949.
