Ford’s Second Assassination Attempt
Can you believe that just a little over two weeks after Ford’s first assassination attempt, someone else then tried to shoot at him? This time, Sara Jane Moore was the attempted assassin. She pulled out a pistol and fired one shot at Ford. Her bullet missed him, and before she could fire another one she was tackled by a former marine. Luckily the bullet missed the president, but it hit and injured a taxi driver.

Lyndon B. Johnson – 140.6
After John F. Kennedy was shot and killed in 1963, Lyndon B. Johnson took over as president of the United States, and one of the first things he did was increase U.S. military presence in Vietnam. He served from 1963 until 1969, and he left a great impression during that time. He was known for pushing the country and not going easy on anyone, as well as his implementation of civil rights, gun, welfare, and social security laws.
