Franklin D.Roosevelt President of the U.S.A.

These days, most of us are interested in presidency and, as well, give the questions about being a president. So, now I decided to share with you the life and presidency of one of my favorite president, Franklin D.Roosevelt., the president who led the U.S.A during both the Great Depression and World War II, paralyzed from the waist down. Even though, he was suffering a bout of polio, he overcame his disability and was elected president of the United States an unprecedented four times. His power to live and fight with the barriers that life gives always deeply impresses me.
In 1900th he entered the Harvard University, but his political career begun when he was only 28 years old, winning the senate seat in Duchess County in 1910 and 1912.
Roosevelt's career as a state senator was very short in 1913 because he was appointed by President Woodrow Wilson as the Assistant Secretary of the Navy. This position became even more important when the United States began making preparations to join in World War I.
At age 39, Roosevelt had lost the use of both of his legs because of the poliomyelitis (i.e. polio). Before the vaccine was created in 1955, polio was an unfortunately common virus that, in its severest form, could cause paralysis.
In 1928, Franklin D. Roosevelt was asked to run for governor of New York. While he wanted back into politics, FDR had to determine whether or not his body was strong enough to withstand a gubernatorial campaign. In the end, he decided he could and that year he won selection and also two years after.
1932nd’s in America begun the economical crisis which then was called The Great Depression and in that year Franklin D. Roosevelt was selected as a president of the U.S.A; however, this crisis was not solved until The World War II finished. In 1944, Roosevelt won his fourth presidential election; however, he did not live long enough to finish it.
On April 12, 1945, Roosevelt was sitting in a chair at his home in Warm Springs, Georgia, having his portrait painted by Elizabeth Shoumatoff, when he stated "I have a terrific headache" and then lost consciousness. President Roosevelt, having led the United States during both the Great Depression and World War II, died less than one month before the end of the war in Europe. Roosevelt was buried at his family home in Hyde Park.
