Benjamin Harrison
During his presidency, the Sixteenth Amendment was passed, allowing Congress to levy an income tax without apportioning it among the states on the basis of population, thus overruling the Supreme Court decision in Pollock v.

Rutherford B. Hayes
The 25th President of the United States (1897-1901).
William McKinley
The 20th President of the United States (1881).
