I was listening to the radio the other day, and facial hair was the topic of discussion. There was a debate about whether cops should be allowed to grow beards, and it later transitioned to presidents. I was curious about which presidents had facial hair. So, I did the research and found the 12 US Presidents with Facial Hair. Check out how facial hair has evolved over the last 200 years among our Commander in Chiefs.
