  Fantastic Facial Hair

  The Chaplin. The Fu Manchu. The Van Dyke. The Garlbaldi. These beards, and other creative variations on chin whiskers, have become such a striking reflection of their wearers' personalities that it becomes hard to know whether the people made the facial hair famous, or the other way around. We do know this much is certain: the only rivals to these fabulous beards are the men sporting them.

  U.S. Presidents

  The first U.S. President, former military leader George Washington, took his oath of office on April 30, 1789, on the balcony of Federal Hall. From that moment onward, the United States' highest office has been filled regularly by an elected official who aims to serve the people under the guidance of the U.S. Constitution. Here are the men who served as Chief Executive after the ratification of the Constitution in 1789.
