“Being a citizen puts you in the arena. You’re not allowed to be a critic. You’re not allowed to be in the mezzanine if you’re a citizen.” Ambassador @RahmEmanuel joins Ted Roosevelt V on the new episode of Good Citizen. The former White House Chief of Staff, congressman, Chicago mayor and ambassador to Japan sat down during the grand opening of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library to talk about citizenship, what he heard on a bike ride across New Hampshire, and why people want to be seen and heard.

#OTD 5 November 1902. The Roosevelts move back into a White House that isn't finished. The Evening Star reported the improvements "still incomplete" — but enough space done to house the family. The lower floor was still a building site. trlibrary.com/tr/homes-and-p…

#OTD 4 November 1878. TR, eight days past his twentieth birthday, decides to audit his own week: "Am going to give an accurate abstract of my doings this week, as a sampl." 7.45 prayers. Study, lunch, study, walk. Dinner with the University Crew. trlibrary.com/tr/early-life/…

#OTD 3 November 1903. The President went home to Oyster Bay to vote — up one flight of stairs over a laundry, into the worst booth in the hall, ballot No. 82. The Tribune: "the President was cheered by Republicans and Democrats alike, along the route." trlibrary.com/tr/presidency

#OTD 2 November 1886. TR finishes third in the New York mayoral race. That night he wires Lodge, who has just won his seat in Congress. The whole wire: "Am more delighted than I can say. Do come on Thursday. Am badly defeated. Worse even than I feared." trlibrary.com/tr/new-york-po…
