William Howard Buckley Taft was the only President to ever serve as Chief Justice and President of the United States and loved all courts and judges equally, he loved them so much. Taft was best known for doing some tariffs, but did you know he was fat and had a big bathtub? This thread is an appreciation station for American's biggest and bestest president of all time. No other president had such a big heart for the president as thee, but he had an even greater love of justice. quote:Of paramount importance was a successor who would sustain and advance his agenda, and there was no man he trusted more to uphold the progressive cause than William Howard Taft. Reporters were fascinated by “the deep, unbroken friendship” the two shared, “like unsophisticated schoolboys when together,” one journalist expounded, “each apparently under the spell of a romantic affection, a strong, simple sense of knightly companionship in the great field of moral errantry and patriotic adventure.” Roosevelt knew he would have to proceed carefully to help his friend get elected. “I am well aware,” he told William Allen White, “that nothing would more certainly ruin Taft’s chances than to have it supposed that I was trying to dictate his nomination.” Nevertheless, he defiantly continued, “it is preposterously absurd to say that I have not the right to have my choice as regards the candidates for the Presidency, and that it is not my duty to try to exercise that choice in favor of the man who will carry out the governmental principles in which I believe with all my heart and soul.” quote:Drawing on his executive experience, he aspired to nothing less than reform of the administrative structure of the entire federal judiciary, making it fully equal in independence, power, and dignity to the White House and Congress. “I love judges, and I love courts,” he once enthused. “They are my ideals on earth of what we shall meet afterward in heaven under a just God.”16 And Taft was able to achieve as chief justice the constitutional vision that had eluded him as president, exercising executive leadership that had been absent from the Court since the tenure of the greatest chief justice, John Marshall. The legal scholar Robert Post has written that “it was Taft who, as former chief magistrate of the Executive Branch, transformed the role of Chief Justice into something analogous to a chief executive for the judicial branch of government.”17 Taft was convinced that “the efficient administration of justice” would help the federal judiciary defend the Constitution against populist threats posed by state legislatures and juries and also keep the president and Congress within their constitutionally appointed bounds. And in so doing, he created the modern federal judiciary as a separate and cohesive branch of government. taft hard at work taft hard at work taft hard at work taft hard at work taft fat at work

by centerting Taft's fatness instead of his merits you're committing an act of fat genocide on behalf of thinness. It's time to interrogate the violence of your thinness,
