What happened on January 23, 1963? It sounds like you are referring to some legislation and I would love to know what it is.
Ratification of the 24th amendment. The passage of the 24th amendment is what triggered the "Great Society" vote buying scheme of Lyndon Baines Johnson.
It was highly successful at keeping Democrats in power, but it caused a massive increase in crime and misery, and cost taxpayers 21 trillion dollars in mostly wasted money.
