Lyndon Johnson actually said...

"The Chief Executive shall be elected by a majority of the entire membership of the legislative body and shall serve until the end of the term of the legislative body that shall have elected him."

"Dear Mr. President: As you prepare to relinquish the duties and responsibilities of your high office, I send you my warm good wishes."

"I know I speak for the entire nation when I tell you how proud we are of your tremendous accomplishment."

"No words of mine can add luster to the splendid triumph in which you have just shared."
