Eisenhower’s Squirrel Challenge

During his presidency, the White House was littered with squirrels and it drove the president crazy. He was adamant on killing all of the rodents and even ordered his valet to get a gun and shoot them all. Luckily the Secret Service intervened and instructed the groundskeeper to trap them and release them into Rock Creek Park.

Theodore Roosevelt

Affectionately called Teddy, Theodore Roosevelt served as president between 1901 and 1909. Widely admired for administrative and international relations skills and persuasive public speaking, he scored high for the economic management skills he had and overall vision. He wasn’t content with just creating many national parks, iconic monuments, and forests, as he was also behind the expansion of the Navy and he kicked-off the Panama Canal construction. What’s more, he was involved in the negotiation for Russo-Japanese War to end and he won a Nobel Peace Prize!
