As President, Johnson vetoed 30 bills; no other President in history vetoed so many bills and never had a single one overridden by Congress. Johnson faced further troubles when summer riots began in major cities in 1965 and crime rates soared, as his opponents raised demands for 'law and order' policies. While Johnson began his presidency with widespread approval, support for him declined as the public became frustrated with both the war and the growing violence at home. Johnson was touched by a Senate scandal in August 1963 when Bobby Baker, the Secretary to the Majority Leader of the Senate and a protégé of Johnson's, came under investigation by the Senate Rules Committee for allegations of bribery and financial malfeasance.
