<|assistant|>
Lyndon B. Johnson was a member of the United States Congress who became the 36th President of the United States after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. As president, he is remembered for his passage of civil rights legislation and widening the scope of the Great Society programs. However, he was also known for using his executive powers to aggressively pursue his legislative agenda, often ignoring the law and other constitutional checks on his power. He escalated the Vietnam War and oversaw the Watts Riots in Los Angeles. He also engaged in other forms of political corruption, including taking kickbacks during his term as a senator. Ultimately, his agenda helped move the country forward socially but he was deeply unpopular due to his unethical methods. His tarnished legacy led to a significant decline in presidential power after his presidency.
