Lyndon Johnson how was his relations with Congress?

Answer 1

As a former party leader in the Senate, Johnson had a very good inside-out knowledge of the Senate and an uncanny skill at persuasion. He became famous for the "Johnson Treatment", in which he would accost a congressman and bombard him with suggestions, facts and ideas. As President, Johnson persuaded Congress to pass groundbreaking legislation for civil rights and welfare programs.

Answer 2

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.
