The Thomas Jefferson celebrity doll depicts him as himself, the 3rd President of the United States and author of the Declaration of Independence.  He was elected two times and served from 1801 to 1809.  He died on the 4th of July in 1826.  The doll was manufactured by Toypresidents, Inc. in 2003.

It is a talking doll that has an actors voice saying 25 unique and authentic phrases like:”Let me add that a bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth,” “It is to secure our rights that we resort to government at all,” and “I own I should like better… that [the President] should be elected for seven years, and incapable for ever after” by pushing on the lapel of the blue early 19th century frock coat.
