William Howard Taft

1857–1930

William Howard Taft (1857–1930) was the 27th President of the United States and later the 10th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the only person to hold both offices. A lawyer and jurist by training, he championed judicial restraint, trust-busting, and international arbitration, but his cautious temperament often clashed with progressive reformers. His legacy is defined by his commitment to legal process and his belief in the judiciary as the ultimate guardian of the Constitution.
