"President Lyndon Johnson was from Texas and he was never actually elected Commander in Chief. As we all know, he was JFK’s Vice President, sworn-in as President aboard Air Force One after Kennedy was shot in Dallas. Johnson decided not to run for re-election in ’68 as the Vietnam War brought his popularity to an all-time low."
