Lyndon Baynes Johnson was Vice President of the United States of America when John Fitzgerald Kennedy was assinated in 1963. He was sworn in on the plane returning the assinated president's body to Washington. He ran for election against the Republican nominee, B. Goldwater, of Arizona, in 1964. Johnson won election. (Many pundants say that Goldwater lost the election, rather than Johnson's winning it.) The Vietnam War became a major foreign policy issue which overrode his domestic agenda; Johnson declined to run for office again in 1968. Richard Millhouse Nixon, Republician, was elected.
