The William Taft Song

William Howard Taft, born in Cincinnati, aspired to be a Supreme Court justice. Despite being remembered for getting stuck in the White House bathtub, he was known for his humility and intelligence. His presidency was marked by anti-trust measures and Dollar Diplomacy, influenced by his wife Nellie. Taft faced political challenges, including a split with T.R. and the Republican Party. He was relieved not to be re-elected and later served as Chief Justice, the only person to hold both offices. In his later years, he advocated for world peace, leaving a lasting legacy.
