William Howard Taft, at 6 feet and weighing over 350 pounds (159 kg),was the heaviest US President. -He was given the nickname "Big Lub" because of his size -Taft's weight caused him to become stuck in the bathtub in the White House on several occasions, prompting the installation of a new bathtub capable of holding all of the men who installed it, something the White House denied until the bathtub was torn out years later.

He refused to enforce the 15th Amendment giving blacks the right to vote, and he started the income tax on corporations, which was ratified as the 16th amendment just before he left office.
Sounds like fat guys are bad for business... Especially Republican fat guys.
Well, there was nothing Taft could do to enforcing the 15th amendment...too many states passed "voter registration requirements" along with the lynchings by crazy white people. He just recommended that blacks stay out of politics at the time as stated by Booker T Washington and work more on education.
But payback is a bitch isn't it....
