        @BeschlossDC @docpetit_art The heavy burden of the presidency during the Civil War certainly took a toll on him, he aged dramatically

        @BeschlossDC one thing 44 has over 16, he's certainly aged better. I guess combatting ISIS isn't as stressful as overseeing a civil war.

        @BeschlossDC Take another look at the photo of Abe Lincoln that you tweeted. He looks more like 86 years old than like 56.

        @BeschlossDC @docpetit_art looks 86. So sad the toll the office takes on the holder, particularly during a national crisis.

        @BeschlossDC This picture is new to me. It is staggering what the war and the Presidency did to him. It's really heart-wrenching.
