Ford’s Second Assassination Attempt
Just two and a half weeks after the first assassination attempt, someone else tried to take his life. Sara Jane Moore tried to shoot him while he was in the middle of another California street tour. A former marine in the crowd immediately noticed when she took out a gun, and he pounced on her right away. While she did shoot a bullet, it hit a cab driver instead of the president. Fortunately, the victim survived the ordeal.

William H. Taft
William H. Taft was the 27th President of the United States, and he made a name for himself as the only president who went on to become the US Chief of Justice after his term. Hailing from Ohio, Taft studied law at the prestigious Yale University later on. Apparently, he even joined the secret society the Skull and Bones while attending the Ivy League institution. He had a great law career, and he eventually became a judge. He was in office from 1909 until 1913, and his time will forever be known for his efforts on East Asia. He also intervened in Latin America, where he either broke down or set up governments.
