Just curious, has a president ever done that?

William Taft went on to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court after being President: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Howard_Taft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Howard_Taft Reportedly, he hated being President and wished he'd never done it, but loved being a judge.
