Ford’s Second Assassination Attempt

It didn’t take long for another woman to try her luck at killing President Ford. In fact it was exactly 17 days later and the would-be assassin was Sara Jane Moore. She pulled out her firearm and shot one bullet towards the president. She missed and an ex-Marine pounced on and disabled her. Unfortunately a taxi driver was the recipient of the bullet, but he did survive. So which president is next on our list?

William H. Taft

The 27th United States president, William H. Taft was the sole person in US history who served as a chief justice after being a president. Taft was from Ohio but he attended Yale University in order to study law and some people even say that he was a part of the Skull and Bones, the famous Yale secret society. When he was in his 20s, Taft excelled in law and he was even appointed as a judge. His presidency was from 1909 until 1913, during which Taft focused his efforts mostly on East Asia, more than matters concerning Europe, but he also intervened in Latin American affairs, which resulted in the notion that he either built or brought down governments.
