∙ 10y agoWilliam McKinley was governor of Ohio and served five terms in the U.S. House of Representatives before he was President. Before he entered pubic service he was a lawyer. Before he was admitted to the bar, he spent four years in the US Army, rising from private to brevet major.

∙ 11y agoOh, he had a lot of jobs. He was a soldier in the military and some time later he became a lawyer. When that job wasn't suitable enough for him, he chose to be a congressman of the U.S. and successfully was voted as governor of Ohio. That paved the way for him to be come PRESIDENTEEE of the U.S of A.
