While Theodore Roosevelt was president (1901-1909), cartoonists critical of his “imperialist” foreign policy and broad exercise of executive authority often drew him with a royal crown. In this cartoon from the May 4, 1912 issue of Harper’s Weekly, the stands on the nation’s Declaration of Independence and makes himself king for a third term. Crowns for two additional terms are already available. The act of self-empowerment is reinforced by the large “I” on the crowns and by the Latin phrase (in English), “The voice of the people is my voice.”
