Leaving the Presidency in 1909, Roosevelt went on an African safari, then jumped back into politics. In 1912 he ran for President on a Progressive ticket. To reporters he once remarked that he felt as fit as a bull moose, the name of his new party.
While campaigning in Milwaukee, he was shot in the chest by a fanatic. Roosevelt soon recovered, but his words at that time would have been applicable at the time of his death in 1919: "No man has had a happier life than I have led; a happier life in every way."

I think that that they are all aircraft carriers, too.
Btw, Franklin D. was shot at (Anton Cermak, mayor of Chicago took the bullet for him), Teddy died of some disease and was not shot.
Thus ends Rev. Jack history lesson.

Not only that, he may be the first to have benefited from a bullet-proof vest.

Oops, you're right! I just fact checked myself!
Sorry folks!

So because they were gun nuts, they got shot? By that logic, I'm destined to be covered in semen...

Logic has nothing to do with your scenario
