Johnson wanted a lot from Congress, and as a previous Congressman, he generally succeeded in his efforts. The most notable pieces of legislation that Johnson was able to get passed was the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution (which significantly escalated the war in Vietnam), the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and a variety of Great Society programs.
Lyndon B. Johnson was able to successfully pass the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964, which JFK had initially introduced but was unable to get through Congress. Johnson used his political skills and influence to rally support from both Democrats and Republicans, ultimately leading to the passage of the legislation.
Age, citizenship, and residency are constitutional qualifications for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the United States.
The anti-war movement was picking up steam within the party. Johnson could see that Robert Kennedy would put up a strong battle for the nomination and even if Johnson was able to prevail, the intra-party fight would give the opposition ammunition for the campaign and Johnson would likely lose the election. Therefore he stepped aside, no doubt expecting Kennedy to win the presidency.
Lyndon B. Johnson had a strong relationship with Congress during his presidency. As a former Senator himself, he knew how to navigate the legislative process and was able to pass a significant amount of legislation, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. However, his controversial policies related to the Vietnam War strained his relationship with Congress and ultimately led to his decision not to seek re-election in 1968.

In 1964, Johnson had only been president for a year, and was eligible for an additional term. He actually could have run again in 1968, but he opted out. The 22nd Amendment limits presidents to being elected to two terms, but if as in Johnson's case, he was VP first and became president at after least two years into that term, it's possible for someone to be president for 10 years.
why wouldnt you be able to? its called baby soap for the simple fact that it will not burn if it gets in your eyes
