9th Chief Justice Edward D. White #55 (1845-1921) justice white was nominated to the court as an Associate Justice in 1894 by President Grover Cleveland and served in that capacity until 1910 when then President William Howard Taft nominated him as Chief Justice. Chief White served in the capacity as Chief Justice until he passed in 1921. President Warren Harding nominated past President Taft as Chief Justice in the same year. 10th Chief Justice Taft retired in 1930. He hardly ever remembered being President as he found that position loathsome.
