When the [[Spanish-American War]] started he resigned his assistant secretaryship in the Navy and 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 United States presidential election, 1904|1904]].

When Roosevelt's term was up he supported Republican candidate and then Secretary of War [[William Howard Taft]], but later he expressed disapproval of Taft's handling of the presidency and ran against him.  He lost the Republican nomination to Taft but ran as an independent on the Bull Moose Progressive party.  Both he and Taft lost to Democrat [[Woodrow Wilson]] in the [[United States presidential election, 1912|election of 1912]].<ref>[[Encyclopedia of Presidents Theodore Roosevelt]] By Zachary Kent, Chicago Press</ref> While campaigning in 1912, Roosevelt was shot before giving in a speech in [[Milwaukee]]. The bullet lodged in a copy of the speech located in his breast pocket, saving his life. He gave the speech anyway that day, beginning the speech with the famous line, "I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose."
