Taft Nomination to Chief Justice Post Confirmed
President Harding nominated William Howard Taft to be chief justice of the United States. The Senate confirmed the nomination 60 to 4 after Taft’s appointment following the death of Chief Justice Edward Douglass White. Taft, 68, succeeds White who had appointed him to the post in 1910. Critics argued Taft’s long political career and age, with progressive Republicans dissenting, while supporters emphasized his legal background and experience.
