Democrats. Kennedy had gotten the bill moving towards Congress, but Johnson was able to get it through.
he used ability to build consensus
Johnson wanted a lot from Congress, and as a previous Congressman, he generally succeeded in his efforts. The most notable pieces of legislation that Johnson was able to get passed was the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution (which significantly escalated the war in Vietnam), the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and a variety of Great Society 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.
Candidates for president are not required to be able to read or write or do simple math.
The anti-war movement was picking up steam within the party. Johnson could see that Robert Kennedy would put up a strong battle for the nomination and even if Johnson was able to prevail, the intra-party fight would give the opposition ammunition for the campaign and Johnson would likely lose the election. Therefore he stepped aside, no doubt expecting Kennedy to win the presidency.
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.

In 1964, Johnson had only been president for a year, and was eligible for an additional term. He actually could have run again in 1968, but he opted out. The 22nd Amendment limits presidents to being elected to two terms, but if as in Johnson's case, he was VP first and became president at after least two years into that term, it's possible for someone to be president for 10 years.
why wouldnt you be able to? its called baby soap for the simple fact that it will not burn if it gets in your eyes
