Franklin D. Roosevelt was the 32nd President of the United States, serving from 1933-1945.

History

When Ralph Wiggum wanted to play the part of George Washington in a school play he dresses himself with glasses, a cigarette holder and by seating himself in a wheel chair. Lisa then says: "Eh, Ralph...", presumably to inform him he dressed himself as the wrong president.[1]

He was mentioned by Mayor Quimby[2]

He is featured in a 1940s cartoon of The Itchy and Scratchy Show, kicking Scratchy and Hitler, despite the fact that Roosevelt was a wheelchair patient. This is a reference to the fact that during his term not many people in the general public knew he was a wheelchair patient.[3]

When Rafael did a crossword he searched after Roosevelt's middle name. He through it was "excitement" but that don't fit so Lisa started helping him and told him it was "Delano".[4]

A picture of him was seen in a book that Superintendent Chalmers showed Bart, before Bart developed an interest in Theodore Roosevelt. Lisa said she liked Franklin Roosevelt more than Teddy Roosevelt.[5]

In "Wild Bart's Can't Be Broken", Lisa searches for the radio station Bart was on, and she runs into Roosevelt's Pearl Harbor speech in 1941 ("A date which we'll live in infamy")
