Theodore Roosevelt

#26: Theodore RooseveltLived 1858 - 1919In office 1901 - 1909

Pros:

Passed big social programs, pioneered conservation of natural resources, did a lot of trust busting.

Cons:

Was super racist, and aggressively imperialist.

Fun facts:

Famous being for pro-conservation but really loved hunting; his push for national parks was mostly so he would have quiet, unspoiled places to shoot bears and bison. Teddy Bears are named after a bear he (unusually) refrained from shooting one time.
