Separation of Powers.
William Taft was the only former President to swear in other Presidents. William Taft was the 27th American President, serving from 1909 to 1913.
Years later, in 1920 he gave the nomination speech for his friend and Republican nominee Warren G. Harding, who went on to win the presidency.
Only a year later, Harding appointed Taft to the Supreme Court after another judge died. Taft was confirmed unanimously, and quickly became Chief Justice, fulfilling a lifelong dream.
In this position, Taft swore in Presidents Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover. He remains the only President to serve on the Supreme Court and the only man to lead both the Executive and Judicial branches of government.
