william taft died in a bathtub due to his terrible health, a month after resigning from the supreme court.

his health had been mentally and physically declining for about a decade before that point, but despite that he insisted on staying as a justice on the supreme court the entire time because he viewed hoover as too progressive and was paranoid he'd be replaced by a dirty commie. so he stayed a supreme court justice and caused a lot of problems by having increasingly worse memory and having a worse and worse ability to actually attend his job.

he was also the president before ww1 started, he lost re-election because teddy roosevelt (the person who helped get him elected in the first place) no longer viewed him as a suitable president and ran against him as a 3rd party candidate.

also, taft's son was the co-sponsor of the taft-hartley act of 1947, which took away many worker's rights and crippled unions in the united states, criminalizing things like solidarity strikes (what's happening in sweden with tesla now), wildcat strikes (striking without union leader approval), jurisdictional strikes, and most forms of picketing. ;)
