The term "credibility gap" first came into wide usage in the 1960's (1963) and 1970's. It was frequently used to describe public skepticism in the then Lyndon B. Johnson administration's statements on the Vietnam war. Today however it used to describe any "gap" between the reality of a situation and what the government agencies and politicians say about it.
Two reasons. First we thought it was necessary to fight to prevent the spread of Communism. And second because we were too stupid to look at history and realize that it was probably smarter to leave the Vietnamese alone. It was incredibly dumb to pick a fight with people who fought China for 600 years so they could be left alone. And I enlisted in 1963 and reenlisted in 1967, and given what I knew then, I'd probably do it again.
Lyndon Johnson was the Vice President until November 22 when Kennedy was killed and Johnson became President. After that, no one. (The office of Vice President was vacant from 1963-1965 due to Vice President Lyndon Baines Johnson having succeeded to the Presidency upon the death of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Senate President pro Tempore Carl Hayden served as acting President of the Senate thereby fulfilling the duties of the Vice President in the Senate,)
Lyndon Johnson did not have a vice-president when he first took office since he was the vice-president when the term began. The vice-president for his second term was Hubert H. Humphrey from Minnesota.
JFK was assassinated on 22 November 1963 in Dallas, Texas.
