'''Garret Hobart''' '''(1844 - 1899)''' was a [[U.S. Representative]] from [[Ohio]], and the [[United States]] [[Vice President of the United States of America|Vice President]] under [[William McKinley]].
His death at the age of fifty-five prompted the 1900 Republican National Convention to nominate [[Theodore Roosevelt]] for the vice presidency when McKinley sought reelection. In 1901, upon McKinley'a assassination, Roosevelt became the youngest ever U.S. President. Had Hobart lived, there may never have been a Theodore Roosevelt presidency, for he, not Roosevelt, would have succeeded McKinley.
