Does anyone know where I might be able to find a list of the highest ranking US Executive officials (President, VP, and the various Secretaries) since around the Lyndon B. Johnson administration?

Also, I'd like to be sure on this: Are there any members of the House, Senate, or the highest ranking Executive Branch that are autistic?

Wikipedia would probably be the easiest place to check, though I'm sure you can find that information in several places.

Not that I know of.

I don't know if they still do, but every person applying for citizenship was required to know the presidents. Veeps, that's a little harder, because some of them were practically non-existent.

Since Johnson (I'm doing this from memory)

Nixon - Agnew
Nixon - Ford
Ford - Rockefeller
Carter - Mondale
Reagan - Bush
Bush - Quayle (or was there one before that?...;)
Clinton- Gore
Bush- Cheney
Obama- Biden

Secretaries, that would be one big undertaking; most secretaries don't last even a single term.
As to how many are AS? I don't know, but I don't think any Presidents or veeps were. Secreataries - there's probably upwards of a couple hundred people since then, and they didn't have Homeland Security, and we don't have the HEW...;)

Here's a thought - I heard Obama has created more Czars than the Romanovs...;)

Heh! Right. Government by Czar is totally extra-Constitutional. The President has no Constitutional Power to grant executive control over any branch of government without the permission of the Senate.

Somehow I doubt that the Patriots who fought, bled and died on Lexington Green, April 19, 1775, were fighting to establish Government by Czar.

Our Lord and Master, B.O. may turn out to be the biggest disaster since FDR.

The so-called czars exist only to advise the President. Such positions are extra-constitutional (outside the Constitution), but are not un-constitutional.

The first 'drug czar' was William Bennett, appointed by President Bush in 1989. Fine for him to call for throwing more druggies in jail if that is what the Bush Administration wanted, but Congress still makes the laws. The czars have power to speak, to broker activity, but not to impose anything.
