After seeing the film the next morning of LBJ being sworn in on the plane with that Cheshire Cat grin I’ve always figured him for the killer. And having Jackie-O standing next to him was icing on this cake. Plus his limo being positioned so he could witness the event was just so gangster like.
LBJ was sworn in on Air Force One on Friday afternoon, November 22nd, 1963. The plane took off for Washington nine minutes later at 2:38 p.m. Central Standard Time, and arrived at Andrews Airforce Base at 5:58 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Johnson got off the plane, walked over to a lectern, and gave a short comment at approximately 6:10 p.m. From the time I got home from high school that Friday afternoon, we were glued to our TV every day until we went to bed each night. We were getting ready to sit down to Sunday dinner at noon on November 24th, when they announced they were bringing Oswald out to transfer him. We all got up, went into the living room, and stood there watching as Jack Rudy shot him, and he was hustled off in an ambulance. And of course on Monday, the TV was on all day again, watching JFK's funeral and burial at Arlington.

Is been said that she was basically bullied to stand there at the sweating in — to provide an appearance of legitimacy to LBJ’s presidency.
