Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president of the United States (1901–1909), known for trust-busting, conservation, and the Panama Canal.
His energetic persona gave rise to expressions: the teddy bear was named after him, and speak softly and carry a big stick captures his foreign policy philosophy.
Teddy Roosevelt often evokes rugged masculinity, progressive reform, or boisterous American confidence.
