The monument on Rushmore was intended to honor presidents of the United States, not founding fathers. It just so happens, perhaps not coincidentally, that two of the men everybody agrees were among the greatest presidents, Washington and Jefferson, were also founding fathers. Everybody also agrees that Lincoln is one of the greatest presidents, certainly second only to Wshington and there are those who would rate him above Washington. As for Teddy Roosevelt, he may have seemed more important when the monument was being sculpted, in the 1930's, than he does now. Even then there were those who felt he was not important enough to be included with the other three but he was a cousin of Franklin Roosevelt who was president when the project was under way so what are you going to do? Michael Montagne Theodore Roosevelt is the backbone and founder of the national park system. Roosevelt was an avid outdoorsman and he loved to travel the country. That could be why he is on there.

If by founding fathers you mean delegates to the Constitutional Convention then the answer is yes. there was a great deal of vigorous debate over what form the new government should take and everybody had to compromise on something.

The four fathers of Rome, often referred to as the "Four Founding Fathers," are Romulus, Remus, Aeneas, and Numa Pompilius. Romulus and Remus are legendary figures credited with the founding of Rome, with Romulus being the first king after he killed his brother Remus. Aeneas, a Trojan hero, is important in Roman mythology as he is said to have journeyed to Italy and established the lineage that would lead to the founding of Rome. Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome, is known for his contributions to Roman religious and legal institutions.
There is only one US president (Obama)and he is a father. Most of the former presidents were also fathers- exceptions being Washington, Jackson and Polk.
