Ford’s Second Assassination Attempt
Only 17 days after the first attempt on his life, another woman attempted to assassinate the president. This time it was Sara Jane Moore who tried to shoot the president during another street tour in California. A former marine noticed when she pulled out the gun and immediately reacted by jumping onto her. A bullet was shot from the gun, but it missed the president and instead hit a taxi driver. The driver survived. Now who’s the next president on our list?

William H. Taft
The 27th president of the United States, William H. Taft was the only person to ever serve as a president and the US chief of justice after his presidency. Form Ohio, Taft attended Yale University to study law. It is said he was a member of the Skull and Bones secret society at Yale. While in his 20s, he excelled in law and was appointed a judge. His time in office ran from 1909 to 1913, during which he focused his efforts mainly on East Asia, even more than European matters. Also intervening in Latin American affairs, Taft either set up or broke down governments.
