Most masculine person to ever hold the White House??

[ClaraC]

Teddy Roosevelt. Not even a contest.

As a child he was very sickly, and he decided he was going to toughen himself up and rise above sickness, which is an amazing feat.

Then he went on to accomplish death-defying adventures into the wilderness nearly dying several times but managing to come through and do it again.

The man was made of steel.

If you're interested in reading and haven't read River of Doubt, it's a good one. About his river trip down a whitewater river, weeks on end, while he had malaria, and an oozing infected leg, in the uncharted rain forest on canoes they had to hollow out from logs along the way. And portage them over and around waterfalls.
