    		William Howard Taft (Sept. 15, 1857 to Mar. 8, 1930) weighed between 300 and 350 lbs. Taft was the last president to keep a cow on the White House lawn for fresh milk, and was the only person in U.S. history to have been both president and chief justice.

    NOTE: Taft was a very large man -- weighing between 300 and 350 pounds. It has been reported that when President Taft was vacationing in Cape May, New Jersey, reporters put up a sign that read: "No swimming -- President Taft is using the Atlantic."
