Best Answer

President Andrew Johnson was in office in 1865, with the first Civil Rights Act, which was unsuccessful. President John F. Kennedy was in Office in the 1960's with the second Civil Rights Act, which was successful. It is important to note that neither President was particularly influential in either Civil Rights Act and the success or failure of the respective acts was due to public opinion and the members of Congress at the time.
