Neither William Henry Harrison nor Zachary Taylor served as president long enough to be afforded the opportunity to nominate a Supreme Court justice. Harrison died in 1841, after only one month in office; Taylor died during his sixteenth month in office in 1850. Andrew Johnson, who served nearly a full term (1865–69), following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln in April 1865, also did not make a selection for the high court. The only full-term president who made no Supreme Court appointments was Jimmy Carter, who served from 1977 to 1981.
