The Chickens had come home to roost

Teddy Roosevelt 

First off, Teddy Roosevelt is not human. He is a quantum fourth dimensional being. His physical form is the only way our mortal minds can perceive his greatness. During the Spanish-American War, it is said Teddy Roosevelt made the Rough Riders. False. Teddy Roosevelt was the Rough Riders. He was a literal one man army. He could liquify people with his intense stares and melt their organs with a twitch of his perfect mustache. Teddy Roosevelt became a cowboy once, but this was not by choice. He just decided to take advantage of his ability to whistle and summon horses straight from the ground. Teddy Roosevelt was once shot before trying to give a speech. The only thing stopping the bullet from entering his heart was the speech in his breast pocket. He gave the speech anyways, bleeding profusely. The doctor just started operating on him during his presentation. But see, Teddy Roosevelt cannot be harmed. His body is made of pure stem cells. He merely allowed his body to be harmed to woo the crowd. All medical records of Teddy Roosevelt have been hidden away, because each time he was cut open to be operated on, they just found a smaller Teddy Roosevelt inside of him. Not a baby, but a homunculus, monocle included. It is said Teddy Roosevelt died in his sleep. His Vice President stated that should Teddy have been awake, there would have been a fight. This is partly true. Teddy would in fact have gone mano y mano with the grim reaper himself.

President Roosevelt

One of the greatest presidents in American history no matter which one you're talking about :P
Intelligent American who sees past the stupidity of partisanship: "President Roosevelt was amazing."

Blind Democrat: "You'd better mean Franklin because that stupid Theodore was a racist Republican."

Blind Republican: "You'd better mean Theodore because Franklin was a flaming Welfare loving social justice warrior."

Intelligent American who sees past the stupidity of partisanship: "No, I mean both because both were great and put country over party. Without either of them, you both would possibly have been CHILD SLAVES, slaves to large businesses, eating poisonous food, drinking unclean water, and if all of that somehow didn't manage to kill you, then you'd die well before you could use Social Security to keep yourself alive and long lived."

Blind Democrat and Republican: "CUCK!"

Chickens come home to roost 

This expression is similar to "what goes around, comes around" and basically means that the consequences of one's evil actions catch up in a negative way. The idea that a wrongful curse comes back to the one who curses as a "bird returns to its nest" dates back to the days of antiquity. However, it wasn't until the 19th Century that Robert Southey wrote that "curses are like a young chicken: they always come home to roost." Since then, the idea of evil men creating returns to their own door has been encapsulated in this expression.
Dude, you keep dealing drugs and you're going to get caught. When the chickens come home to roost, they will take your car, your house, and all your money!
