Lyndon B. Johnson

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

Lyndon Baines Johnson was a 20th century Human politician who served as the Vice President of the United States of America from 1961 to 1963 before becoming the the 36th President of the United States following the assassination of John F. Kennedy. (TOS: "The Cage")

An image depicting Vice President Johnson, appearing during Kennedy's 1961 "Decision to Go to the Moon" speech, was scanned by the Talosians as they reviewed the library computer files on board USS Enterprise in 2254. (TOS: "The Cage" remastered)

In 1963, Vice President Johnson took his oath of office to become president, following the assassination of Kennedy, while en route to Washington, DC. (TOS: "The Cage" remastered)

The original version of "The Cage" depicted a simple sketch of Kennedy (shown above, right) during the Talosian's scan of the Enterprise computers. Johnson was in office when "The Cage" was filmed and at the time of the series premiere of Star Trek in 1966.
