Was president William Howard Taft a Republican or a Democrat?

William Howard was a Republican (he signed on to the Roosevelt party line, but interestingly enough was hailed as a great alternative to Roosevelt by Progressives when he was elected).\n\nRobert Taft was a Republican too, but cooperated with conservative Southern Democrats to get elected.\n\nInterestingly, Robert's son Robert Jr. was also a congressman, and his grandson Robert Alphonso Taft II is the current Governor of Ohio.

Actually, William Taft is usually considered the 27th president of the United States. This is because Grover Cleveland served two nonconsecutive terms, and is considered to be both the 22nd and the 24th presidents of the United States.\n\nOtherwise, yes it would be Wilson, but historically we usually refer to Taft as our 27th president and Wilson as the 28th.

A demorcrat would be a Liberal.  In fact, in America, Republicans are often referred to as conservatives and Deamocrats are often referred to as Liberals.  I hope this helps.  Blessings to you.

Correct.  President Taft died in 1930 (president until 1913).  Truman was president in 1947.  The Taft of the Taft-Hartley Act was Senator Robert Taft of Ohio.  Now go get some food!

No. Franklin Delano Roosevelt had more power than Lincoln. It's true Lincoln had less of a country to work with than FDR, but an act of Congress gave FDR the most power of any president and he needed it. The great depression was a disaster for the US and someone had to step in. The US was attacked by a foreign power and people were in a panic about that. Put those two events together and you have a bigger set of problems than a mere Civil War...

National Republican and Democratic Republican. The Democratic Republican is our Democratic party today, and the National Republican party fell apart, many of it's members joining the Whig party, and many joined the Republican party we have today after it was formed.

Taft was severely overweight to the point that he became stuck in the bathtub in the White House several times, prompting the installation of a new bathtub capable of holding all of the men who installed it- a truth the White House denied until it was torn out years later. At 6 feet, and weighing over 350 pounds (159 kg), Taft was the heaviest President.(Jefferson, Lincoln, Johnson and Clinton were taller) There is some evidence that his mother started calling him "my pudgy-wudgy boy" before his fifth birthday. This may have led to his disdain for the word "pudgy." In fact, it was said that an aide blacked out "pudgy" from his morning newspaper.

Both were conservatives. Both were pro-life, against gay marriage, tough on illegal immigration, and favor tax cuts.

President Taft had a bathtub that was almost that big; he was pretty good with a knife and fork.  But I think it was President Clinton who had the hot tub.

Truman and he was a democrat.  That was a long time ago, before Vietnam.  It's interesting how times have changed things.  Most conservatives today would be considered left wing fanatics by Turmans standards.  Liberals today would seem to be from a different planet all together.

Warren G. Harding was the President who succeeded Wilson. He wasn't very good at it.\n\nAlso, do your own homework.

Republicans. He didn't take a party label, but his principles were clearly Federalist. He certainly believed in a strong defense. I don't think any of our founding fathers would support most of the Dem social positions such as gay marriage & abortion.

Er... I'm honestly not quite sure what you're going for here.\n\nThe first person who comes to mind as fitting your description is George Washington, who was invited to become king of America and refused in favor of a democratic system.  He also volunteered to leave after two terms as President, setting a precedent that was upheld until FDR's administration and was later ratified as a Constitutional amendment.
