During his long government career, he served as Governor of the Philippines, Secretary of War, President of the United States and Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. He is the only man in U.S. history to have been both President and Chief Justice. He was a large man, six-feet tall and weighing more than 300 pounds. He retired from the Court on February 3, 1930, due to ill health, and died five weeks later on March 8, 1930.

In terms of his political career, Taft is famous for being the only man thus far to ever serve as both president and chief justice of the Supreme Court in his lifetime. However, what most people remember him for is the fact that he was an extremely large man, and allegedly once got stuck in a White House bathtub.
