Teddy Roosevelt
Political Career
Become mayor, was to disruptive. Moved to govener, also to disruptive. Eventually moved up to VP because no one wanted to deal with him.
President McKinnley was assassinated within his first year (1900), and as a result, VP Teddy became the next President and served the rest of the term. He wins the following 1904 election and promised that he wouldn't run again in 1908.
Once he became Police Commisioner, he got out on "the beat" with his fellow officers. He continued to disrupt established local corruption and was eventually pushed "out and up" to Mayor.
1912 Election
Teddy was in Africa on a safari trip. When he learned the undoing Taft was doing he returned and started his own political party "bull moose" to run against Taft in the next election.
By Teddy establishing his own political party it didn't help him win. He actually became a third party and cause a split in the votes and led to Wilson's victory
1908: Taft becomes President. He had been Teddy's VP in the previous administration and was supposed to continue in Teddy's spirit (spoiler: he didn't). Taft decided to sell off lands from National Parks to private businesses to exploit the resources for profit (this is a huge reason Teddy decided to run in 1912).
Teddy became police commissioner of NYC, instead of working at his desk he went out with other cops to stop corruption. Started messing up their game
