Paralytic illness and return to politics
Following the victory of Cox and Donahey in the 1920 election, Roosevelt was soon appointed to Secretary of the Navy by the now Democratic held Senate. He quickly set to work on implementing naval reforms which had been circulating his office since the prior administration of Albert Beveridge. Soon after, while vacationing at Campobello Island in August 1921, he fell ill.

1924 Democratic National Convention
Following the revelations that members of Cox's administration were involved with the unfolding scandal at Teapot Dome, Roosevelt resigned his post in disgust, feeling betrayed by the man he once saw as his friend. Following his resignation Roosevelt made overtures to Herbert Hoover, famed for his wartime aid to the country of Belgium, for a combined effort to secure the 1924 Democratic Party nomination from Cox.
