Best Answer

When Franklin was a boy, he went to Groton school for boys. His cousin, Theodore Roosevelt, visited Groton school and gave a speech about politics. That, I think, is one reason. Now here is another. When Franklin was only 5 or 6 he visited the President of the United States of America. That president, said to him; "I know this is a silly wish, but you will never become the President of the United States." That maybe triggered his determination to become President.

He was a very good political leader and he jumped at the chance to be president. His wife Eleanor did not want to have any part of this.
