Well, the first thing is if his health holds, he probably stands for, and wins, the Republican nomination in 1920, which means he's almost certainly elected president (again) that year.
It feels strange to imagine a world with a pre-WWII President surviving into the fifties, considering Hoover and FDR were basically it for almost the entirety of FDR's term.
It's interesting to see what TR would have had to say/do during WW2, if his Presidency doesn't butterfly it, that is.

With a conservative Congress and public the Second Roosevelt administration is not a time of progressive reform. Instead there is tax and spending cuts and balanced budget. There is also high tariffs. TR sort of honors the two term tradition and does not run in 1928. The economy collapses and President Hoover gets the blame. The Second President Roosevelt takes office in 1933.
I have to wonder - does this create a new tradition, where Presidents can serve as many terms as they want but are capped at two consecutive?
Is there a way Winston and Teddy wouldn't hit it off?
I would recommend his son not dying in World War I as a good POD.
