Some presidents have had significant careers after leaving office.
Prominent examples include William Howard Taffs tenure as Chief
Justice of the United States and Herbert Hoover's work on government
reorganization after World War II. Grover Cleveland, whose bid for
reelection failed in 1888, was elected president again four years later in
1892. Two former presidents served in Congress after leaving the White
House: John Quincy Adams was elected to the House of
Representatives, serving there for seventeen years, and Andrew Johnson
returned to the Senate in 1875. John Tyler served in the provisional
Congress of the Confederate States during the Civil War and was elected
to the Confederate House of Representatives.
