| Very nice quiz, although I agree with bmcelwee about cutting down the time. I'd even consider making it 1 minute, but at most 2 minutes. Exactly 9 presidents sported facial hair to date (apart from not shaving on Sunday, perhaps). Interestingly, they all served within the 52-year span from 1860 to 1912. Of the 11 men to be president in that period, only Andrew Johnson and William McKinley did not have either a beard, mustache, or both. The ones who did were Lincoln (beard), Grant (both), Hayes (both), Garfield (both), Arthur (mustache and mutton-chops), Cleveland (mustache), B. Harrison (both), T. Roosevelt (mustache), and Taft (mustache). All of them except Cleveland were Republicans (as was McKinley; A. Johnson was a Democrat who ran with Lincoln in 1864 on a National Union ticket). The bald-faced presidents bookending that period -- Buchanan and Wilson -- were both Democrats. |
