In 1903 he signed the Panama Canal treaty, placing the canal under US control. He also signed into law the creation of the departments of Labor and Commerce.
His public popularity and his style, and his love of nature, was the reasons he was elected in 1904, for a full term.
Additionally, many people are confused about the family ties between Teddy Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt. They happened to be distant cousins, fifth cousins as it turned out. Also, because both men were from New York, it was believed they were close relatives. They were not.
