Teddy “The Badass” Roosevelt

Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt has gone down in history as being the biggest badass US president of all time (thus far). When he was a child, his doctor told him to take it easy since he suffered from asthma. Teddy responded to this by saying he was going to do everything the doctor said he shouldn’t.

Teddy earned a Medal of Honor by leading an infantry up the San Juan Hill during the Spanish-American War. He blinded his left eye while hosting boxing matches against professional, title-holding boxers. And after being shot in the chest while giving a speech, he brushed off his shoulders (figuratively) and continue with his speech for three hours.
