He also closed down the banks, which I can't imagine
being an easy thing even then.

And on  a more mundane level, FDR had 2 children named
after him (one of whom died quickly). So, obviously,
the first was a proxie and his wife put her foot down
so his second son was, probably, not a proxy. 

He did have affairs, so one could use his affairs with
Lucy Rutherford (aka "Mrs. Johnson") and such as
giving him illegitimate children as proxies. She was
also with him when he died, to add fuel to occult
rumours: perhapss he found out what he'd use their
children for, and took revenge. 

Lastly, there's the famous "Unfinished portrait" of
him  that was being taken when he died. Finding a way
to get the original artist to finish it would reveal
things, like the true reason behind his paralysis and
refusal to accept it, despite it making him a good
'true king'. Taken further, he blamed the True King
for CAUSING his paralysis, hence his attempts at being
the True Politician.

(I'll probably not make use of any of this save in
rumour form, but it is always fun to try and give
historical figures a UA twist.)
