William Howard Taft (September 15, 1857 - March 8, 1930) served as the 27th President of the United States (1909 - 1913) and as the tenth Chief Justice of the United States (1921 - 1930), the only person to have held both offices. William Taft attended Yale and was a member of Skull and Bones secret society like his father, and after becoming a lawyer was appointed a judge while still in his twenties. He continued a rapid rise, being named Solicitor General and as a judge of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. Despite his personal ambition to become chief justice, Taft declined repeated offers of appointment to the Supreme Court of the United States, believing his political work to be more important. In 1921, President Harding appointed Taft as chief justice, an office he had long sought.
