Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt was President of the United States until 1909.

In 1912, Roosevelt was in the process of campaigning for reelection as President when he was shot during a campaign stop in Milwaukee. The bullet glanced off the manuscript of a script in his breast pocket before lodging in his chest; however, the wound was not deep and he survived. His run for the presidency was unsuccessful. Roosevelt was the only former president to face an assassination attempt until David Palmer was shot and killed during Day 5 decades later.
