  It's a shame that America's universally agreed that presidents should be clean-shaven.

  
  

  Where's my half-bear half-human president for me and other bearded tykes to look up to?

  You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

  Who's he hiring?

  Bah, everybody knows he was a lame horse ridden in to end the Reconstruction.

  
  

  But I guess what I'm saying is that most of the bearded presidents are from the 1800s and I'd like one that's less...racist.

  William Howard Taft was the last president of the united States of America to have facial hair.
  Grover Cleveland was our best president, so awesome, such a great man.  He did the best nothing that anyone ever did.
  
  Rutherford B Hayes was also awesome and amazing, but not as great as Cleveland.

  I believe Rutherford B. Hayes to be one of the most forgettable presidents.
  
  Alongside such luminaries as Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, James K. Polk, James Madison, and James Monroe.

  william henry harrison is more forgettable mostly because he didn't really do much
  
  then he died

  He was a monster and I hate him forever.  He dismantled the Iriquoi league from inside, sowing discontgent and discord to get the indians to fight amongst themselves.  Jacksom may have done the actual trail of tears, but without Harrison, the native americans might have their own nation today, and the united States might not have been able to get away with many of the things it did.  THe things he did before he was president are unforgivable.

  I like Benjamin Harrison, I classify him as a lost prince of the Harrison dynasty, attempting to escape the evil shadow over his name cast by his grandfather.

  i want to drink some hard cider sometime, just because i'm curious how it tastes
  
  i mean, i've tasted unfiltered apple juice before, and it's decent too
  
  as well as sparkling non-alcoholic cider, which is basically sparkling apple juice; that's nice too.

  We can do anything if we do it together.

  The only reason I know that James K. Polk even exists is because of that TMBG song about him.

  Continuing the theme of references to mid-2000s kid shows: James K. Polk Middle School is probably the only reason I was aware he existed
  
  Also I think he was from North Carolina? Maybe?

  He was born in Mecklenburg County and he went to UNC back when it was only like three buildings and the Old Well.
