VICE PRESIDENT TO WILLIAM McKINLEY / #25

Endlessly fascinating, but I still think he was a mustachioed manchild
Endured unimaginable heartbreak
“Kicked upstairs” to VP to keep him out of trouble; not the first time that backfired
Youngest president ever at 42
Handpicked his successor; regretted it, then ran against him
To date, I’ve read three books about Theodore; I had some gripes about one of them

Roosevelt was "kicked upstairs" to keep him out of trouble; he ended up president

I’ve read at least one book about every U.S. president, never tire of shoehorning presidential trivia into conversations, and am basically an expert at hiding mistakes in my sketchbooks.
