Johnson suffered his second heart attack a few hours after Kennedy was assassinated, although the public were only told he had suffered an angina attack. ParsleySt1 (talk) 18:31, 22 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Under "personality and public image" it says "As president, Johnson vetoed 30 bills; no other president in history vetoed so many bills and never had a single one overridden by Congress." This is false and easy to check. Delete this sentence without replacement. Many presidents issued more vetoes. 174.251.64.113 (talk) 14:12, 27 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
The article makes it sound as though he dropped out because of the poor result, when in reality he had announced six months earlier he might not stand again. In any case he later admitted he could not run for another term as he knew he would not survive it. (ParsleySt1 (talk) 16:42, 19 September 2024 (UTC))Reply

I would like to add 2 very good period photos of Lyndon B. Johnson: June 21 1960, Washington DC, Lyndon B. Johnson and Sen. J. William Fulbright. Lyndon B. Johnson, June 19 1960, Omaha NE. Both photos are not copyright protected. Shai Bandmann 1 (talk) 19:17, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm pretty certain that Lyndon B. Johnson's penis, which he nicknamed "Jumbo", was a prominent part of his character and defined him to a greater degree than most other U.S. presidents. Here are sources:
I am leery of encouraging people to follow your links, as the second one loaded a lot of advertising onto my machine and it crashed. The Times article is behind a paywall. I didn't follow the others. What I saw is a rehash of what I have seen before. If you're really serious, there have been several discussions on the issue and the consensus was to not add any particular mention.
