Kennedy'supported Ngo Dinh Diem's government because it continued the US policy already established by Eisenhower in Southeast Asia. Eisenhower's focus was on the neutralizaion of Laos, and his administration applied that policy to Viet Nam prior to Kennedy's election. In essence, Kennedy inherited what the prior administration put in place. As for the Ngo government (Note: Diem is the ruler' first name, while Ngo is his last name, just as Ky is the last name for Nguyen Cao Ky, who later followed Ngo Din Diem in governing South Viet Nam), the U.S. lacked confidence in the man and his family to govern. Kennedy did not put him in power. Ultimately, Ngo's removal by the military took place because the U.S. believed it would strengthen the South's effort to curtail the growing insurgency in the country.

No. Johnson only became President three weeks afterDiem was murdered. Diem was killed during the overthrow of his Government by the South Vietnamese military.
