Theodore Roosevelt doodled animals and children, while Dwight Eisenhower drew weapons and self-portraits. Boats were big with FDR (gunboats) and JFK (sailboats). Ronald Reagan ventured back to his film days with drawings of cowboys and football players, while Herbert Hoover doodled a line of children's clothing patterned on geometric designs.
