'''William Howard Taft''' was the 27th [[President of the United States of America]], serving from 1909 to 1913. He is particularly famous for being the portliest president in history, requiring a special bathtub to be installed in the White House. Taft is the only President to go on to serve as [[Chief Justice of the United States]], in addition to being the first-ever president to toss out the ceremonial [[first pitch]] at a [[baseball]] game.  He was also the last [[Unitarian]] President, and the only incumbent President in history to seek re-election only to come in third in the [[popular vote]].  This happened in the [[United States presidential election, 1912|1912 Presidential election]] after Taft's supporters prevented [[Theodore Roosevelt]] from winning the nomination of the [[Republican]] party, leading Roosevelt to form the [[Progressive Party]] and come in ahead of Taft but behind [[Woodrow Wilson]] on election day.
