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.

The second civil rights act was the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that was championed and pushed forward mainly due to the efforts of President Lyndon Johnson. The second Civil Rights Act superseded the first, which was created in 1875 and was passed by the last biracial Congress of the 19th century.
The 1957 Civil Rights Act was one of the first pieces of civil rights legislation signed in the United States under President Eisenhower.
