Ford’s Second Assassination Attempt
It’s hard to believe that just 17 days after the assassination attempt on President Ford, another woman would take their shot at his life. Again in California, Sara Jane Moore pulled out a pistol and fired one shot at the president. She missed and was quickly overpowered by a former marine. The bullet missed the president but injured a taxi driver. Which president is next on our list?

William H. Taft
William H. Taft was the 27th president of the United States and he was the only head of state who went on to become the US Chief of Justice. He grew up in Ohio and later matriculated at Yale University to take up law. He was allegedly part of the secret society Skull and Bones while attending the prestigious university. During his twenties, he enjoyed a successful law career and later became a judge. He was in office from 1909 until 1913 and under his administration paid more attention to East Asia than any other region. Taft also intervened in Latin America where he either broke down or set up governments.
