Apparently Vice Presidents are even more obscure a century after they're in office, if that's possible.

But I knew Juan Valdez wasn't V.P.

Would you please allow "monopolies" to count for "trusts" (especially because the word is inside the parentheses)?

On the trip to the Amazon, his son Kermit went with him. You don't get a lot of Kermit's any more ...

It actually mostly became a given name because of Kermit Roosevelt. Before that, it was primarily a surname, with Roosevelt himself being named after his maternal great-uncle, Robert Kermit. It came into fashion as a men's name after Teddy came to national prominence, but of course you'd be hard pressed to find many people born after the 1970s with the name. You can blame the frog for that.

I might add "campaigning" as an answer to the assassination attempt. He had yet to actually begin speaking when he was shot (and the speech in his pocket helped stop the bullet!)

And he went on to give the speech anyway in spite of bleeding through his shirt. He quipped that it would take more than getting shot to stop a bull moose.

There's a great book about him that I just read called "The River of Doubt." It details his trip down an uncharted river in the Amazon to which the penultimate question refers.

Fantastic president! Perhaps take away Lincoln, and by far, I mean FAR, the best Republican who has set face on this planet.

I aspire to have facial hair within a few orders of magnitude of that of Charles Fairbanks.

The quiz is called "The Theodore Roosevelt Presidency", but almost half (7) of these questions aren't even about his presidency.
