1963: Lyndon B. Johnson is
sworn in
After
President Kennedy was shot on Nov. 22, 1963, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson
was sworn in aboard Air Force One. The inauguration marked the first time a woman administered
the oath of office, and the only time a president
has taken the oath on an airplane. The 36th president can be seen in this image
by White House photographer Cecil Stoughton alongside Jacqueline Kennedy, Lady
Bird Johnson, and others.
