Prior to william howard taft becoming a chief justice of the supreme court, what governmental office did he hold?

Hi. He was the 27th president of the United States from 1909 - 1913. He later became the chief justice. Hope this helps.

Take care,

United states v.  nixon, 418  u.s.  683 (1974),  was  a landmark  united states supreme court case  that resulted in a unanimous  decision  against president richard  nixon, ordering him to deliver tape recordings  and  other subpoenaed materials to a  federal  district  court.
