SCOTUS trivia

Which individual served as both POTUS and SCOTUS justice?

a) Chester Arthur
b) Calvin Coolidge
c) Warren Harding
d) William Howard Taft

The correct answer: William Howard Taft. Taft served as the 27th president of the United States from 1909 to 1913. He served as chief justice of the court from 1921 to 1930. Taft was the only Supreme Court justice to also serve as president and thus the only justice to nominate another justice.
