Considering this, what happened to Taft's bathtub?
Taft's special tubs broke world records Stuck in a tub or not, Taft had special bathtubs made, modified, and moved so he could fit inside. The most famous Taft tub was installed on the USS North Carolina in 1909, and it probably ended up at the White House.
Who was the fattest US president?
Taft was the most obese president. He was 5 feet, 11.5 inches tall and his weight was between 335 and 350 pounds toward the end of his presidency. He is thought to have had difficulty getting out of the White House bathtub, so he had a 7-foot (2.1 m) long, 41-inch (1.04 m) wide tub installed.
