Theodore Roosevelt

The first Roosevelt to occupy the oval office was likely one of our toughest Presidents. Teddy Roosevelt suffered from asthma and general ill-health in his childhood, but overcame it by simply embracing a strenuous lifestyle. He would even resign from his original position in William McKinley’s cabinet to fight the Spanish in Cuba. In possibly his most impressive feat, Roosevelt was once shot in the chest while making a campaign speech, and after his attempted assassin was restrained, he went on to finish the speech. That’s just plain tough. All of this confirms that Teddy Roosevelt would beat me, and just about anyone else for that matter, to a pulp, and he would do it damn quickly.
