Movember: The last President to wear a mustache - William Howard Taft
By Jack Brummet, Presidents Editor
As Movember comes to a close, here is a photo of President William Howard Taft, the last President to sport a mustache. He later became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Justice Felix Frankfurter once remarked to Justice Louis Brandeis that it was "difficult for me to understand why a man who is so good a Chief Justice...could have been so bad as President."
