Charles Evans Hughes, who was an Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court from 1910-1916, resigned from the Court on June 10, 1916, in order to become the Republican candidate for President. He was narrowly defeated by Woodrow Wilson that year, in a decision that hinged on the outcome in California. Hughes was only 594,188 popular votes behind Wilson.
President Hoover nominated Hughes to Chief Justice of the United States in 1930, to serve on the Court following the death of William Howard Taft, who was Supreme Court Chief Justice from 1921-1930, and President of the United States from 1909-1913.
Hughes lead the Supreme Court from 1930-1941.
