Johnson sent in the Marines. Prior to that moment in time, the US was providing "advisors", technical and intelligence support, logistics and training specialists. The Marines were sent in to provide protection for those services. The US commitment was sealed at that moment in time.

How was the involvement of the US in Vietnam before Johnson became President in 196?

Before Lyndon B. Johnson became President in 1963, U.S. involvement in Vietnam primarily escalated during the Eisenhower administration. The U.S. supported the French colonial forces in their fight against the Viet Minh and later backed the anti-communist government of South Vietnam, led by Ngo Dinh Diem. This included financial aid, military advisors, and covert operations, laying the groundwork for deeper involvement. By the early 1960s, the U.S. had significantly increased its military presence, with over 16,000 advisors in Vietnam by the time Johnson took office.

How did the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution in 1964 affect the powers of the President?

The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution expanded the powers of the President by giving him the authority to take military action in Vietnam without a formal declaration of war from Congress. This resolution effectively allowed the President to escalate US involvement in the Vietnam War without needing explicit permission from Congress. It is considered a significant expansion of executive power and has been used as a precedent for future military actions without congressional approval.
