POTUS 14 - President Franklin Pierce, the handsomest President

Click President Franklin Pierce to enlarge

The 14th President, Franklin Pierce, a Democrat, was considered a very handsome man in his time.

Today Pierce is remembered mainly for not being remembered. He presided from 1853-57 over very tranquil times (which turned out to be the calm before the storm...but isn't that always the story?). President Pierce's Vice President William R. King died one month after his inauguration; Pierce had no Vice President during most of his term. He only governed for one term, and according to some sources, is considered one of the worst Presidents of all time.
