Lyndon johnson was certainly an imperial president. I think what we see in johnson we start to see the cusp of the end of the imperial president s in the United States. There have been president s the acted in three fleet since then. The bush, no doubt about that. But he was the last person i think to understand the use and abuse of power. Unfortunately, he abused it in many respects. As did many of the president s who succeeded him. But he wasnt the last person who understood because of his constant demand of power within the United States he understood much better how to maneuver power overseas. He was less interested in what went on overseas and, unfortunately, his presidency was really defined by his adventure in vietnam which were almost less than in many respects. He inherited that. He did not making any better, no doubt about that but he did understand the use of power and especially within the United States. He was i think one of the last president s who did it truly understand
