Question: Who killed John F. Kennedy?
Position‹4 of 5›: Lyndon B. Johnson killed JFK
Argument: Unsatisfied as vice president

Lyndon B. Johnson wasn't happy in his position as vice president.

The argument

Lyndon B. Johnson was overshadowed by JFK during the entire presidential term. He was bored in his new position as vice president and wished to go back to his old job as a Texas senator. Feelings of dissatisfaction and disagreement could have led to Johnson assassinating Kennedy. Johnson had numerous motives to seek revenge against Kennedy, all involving politics. In 1960, Kennedy took the democratic nomination from Johnson and was considering dropping him from the ballot in the upcoming election. Because of JFK's popularity, Johnson was not able to become president. By assassinating Kennedy, he was able to become president right away.

Premises

[P1]As vice president, Lyndon Johnson was overshadowed by Kennedy and dissatisfied, wishing to return to his old role as a Texas senator. [P2] Johnson had political motives for revenge — Kennedy had taken the 1960 nomination from him and was considering dropping him from the ballot. [P3] Assassinating Kennedy removed these obstacles and made Johnson president immediately. [C] Therefore, his dissatisfaction and motive suggest Lyndon B. Johnson killed JFK.

Counter-arguments

There is no evidence that proves Lyndon B. Johnson disliked Kennedy or had made plans to assassinate him. His immediate creation of the Warren Commission proves he was motivated to begin an investigation to find out who killed JFK. To accuse LBJ of assassinating Kennedy is absurd, especially in his role as vice president.

Rejecting the premises

[Rejecting P3] There is no evidence that supports this theory.
