What president during the early 1960's worked to pass the civil rights laws?
John F. Kennedy, and then after his death Lyndon Johnson.
Who had the most influence in the Texas Democratic Party in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century?
Lyndon Johnson
Did president Kennedy sign the civil rights act of 1963?
Absolutely. The administration, especially through Attorney General Robert Kennedy, lead the cause of civil rights in the early 1960s. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was the natural culmination of these efforts, even though it was passed in the Johnson administration. Of course, Johnson had been Kennedy's VP, so he was familiar with the effort.
Can an incumbent president be challenged by a same party member in an election run?
Yes, they can be challenged, but only for the nomination. A political party nominates only one candidate for president and all party members do their best to support the candidate of their party. ( A person can desert his party and run against his old party's candidate, as did Theodore Roosevelt in 1912. )
