President Johnson used his political skills to pressure Congress to pass the act.
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.
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.
