    About William Howard Taft

    William Howard Taft was an American lawyer, politician, and jurist who served as the twenty-seventh president of the United States from 1909 to 1913 and later as the tenth chief justice of the United States from 1921 to 1930. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, he graduated from Yale College and Cincinnati Law School. Before his presidency, Taft served as United States Solicitor General, a federal circuit judge, Governor-General of the Philippines, and Secretary of War under Theodore Roosevelt. As president, Taft emphasized trust-busting, expanded civil service protections, and pursued Dollar Diplomacy to promote American economic interests abroad. However, political disputes with progressive Republicans led to a rift with Roosevelt, contributing to Taft's defeat in the 1912 presidential election. In 1921, President Warren G. Harding appointed Taft Chief Justice, making him the only person to head both the executive and judicial branches of the United States federal government. He held this position until shortly before his death in 1930.
