Accomplishments of Lyndon Johnson. He attended Southwest Texas State Teachers College and graduated in 1930 and then attended Georgtown University to study law. He then was elected to congress in 1937 while elected he Joined the navy and later received a silver star. After leaving the navy he became vice president under JFK. On November 22, 1963 JFK was assasinated and Johnson took over as president. He won a second election against goldwater by 61% of the popular vote. He passed several policies including medicare, medicade, social security act, civil rights act of 64 and 68, and the voting rights act of 1965. He also passed enviormental protection acts. I think that He was a good president that acomplished a lot durring and after his presidency. He deserves credit for all the things he did.
