The Legacy of William Howard Taft

         Here are some historical facts about William Howard Taft:

 Taft was the 27th president of the United States from 1909-1913.
He was hand picked by Theodor Roosevelt to be his successor.
After his presidency, he went on to become Chief Justice of the United States. Making him the only president to ever be both.
He sought world peace.
Historians generally remember him as just an all around good president.
And once he got stuck in the White House's bath tub.

      ...Which one of those facts are you going to remember about him?

America, even our president is so fat he gets stuck in bath tubs.
        Yup, at 330 pounds, Taft was America's largest president. 
  
        When someone finally found him, it took four men to get him out.

      
"Maybe If I grow a fantastic mustache, that's what people will remember me for!"
       Later, a new bathtub was installed specifically for Taft. It could fit four full grown men. 

       ... I feel like I should write more, but I mean, President got stuck in a bathtub. What more do you want?
