	William Howard Taft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Taft was born on September 15, 1857, in Cincinnati, Ohio.
		Yet balanced against these achievements was Taft's acceptance of a tariff with protective schedules that outraged liberal opinion; his opposition to the entry of the state of Arizona into the Union because of its liberal constitution; and his growing reliance on the conservative wing of his party.
		Taft was overweight, to the point that he became stuck in the bathtub in the White House several times, prompting the installation of a new bathtub capable of holding all of the men who installed it.

	William Howard Taft, President of the United States
