Why did want Theodore Roosevelt become President?

Answer 1

Politics had been Theodore Roosevelt's career since he was first elected to the New York State Assembly as a college student. He was an ambitious and energetic worker in his career as with everything else. He had a keen sense for using bombast to his advantage, and people generally liked him because he had such a unique personality (though he had political enemies). Even at a young age, people told him he should run for president; he liked that idea but did not want to delude himself that such a thing was possible. Through a variety of jobs and increasing public popularity and a higher profile, he found himself poised to be nominated to run for President. He did not win his party's nomination but was offered to run on the ticket with William McKinley as the vice president. Roosevelt was reluctant to accept the post, since it is usually a death sentence for a political career. He did anyway. When McKinley was assassinated early into his second term, Theodore Roosevelt became President of the United States.

Answer 2

He originally ran for Vice President on the ticket with William McKinley. When McKinley was assassinated, Roosevelt became president and served out McKinley's term. Roosevelt ran for president in 1904 since he was in an good position to do so and win. He did not seek to be re-elected though he was certainly eligible in 1908. When William Howard Taft started undoing some of TR's policies, TR ran for president again in 1912.!!:P
