'''Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.''' (1858-1919) was the 26th [[President of the United States]].  He suffered from asthma as a boy but was able to work through it with the assistance of exercise.  He worked in both the Police Department and the Navy Department.   
    
When the [[Spanish-American War]] started he became a rough rider.  Because of his well known assault on San Juan Hill and other patriotic acts he was nominated for Vice-President with incumbent William McKinley.  When President McKinley was fatally shot by an [[anarchist]] in 1901, Roosevelt automatically became President, and was reelected against a challenge by the Democratic candidate Alton B. Parker in 1904.
