As I recall as a student LBJ was asked to write about what the constitution said on education. He turned in a long treatise. The professor marked it all wrong and told him the Constitution didn’t say anything about education.
He resented the low mark and said he would work to change that. It’s too bad he didn’t learn the correct lesson.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't LBJ a popular president like FDR? If such was the case, then why didn't these men use their popularity to encourage Congress to work within the framework of the Constitution by petitioning the states for amendments to the Constitution for new powers?
