    Rutherford B. Hayes, photographed about 1845, did not look like this when he became President:pic.twitter.com/rWHYgUpCfI

        He was called "Rutherfraud" Hayes because the GOP stole the 1876 election from Samuel Tilden. Hayes got 48% of the popular vote and Tilden 51%. No POTUS did as poorly in the popular vote until Trump in 2016.

        Hayes won 185-184 in the EC. Three disputed states in the south - including Florida - were awarded to Hayes. Read a history of the 1876 election. It was a major turning point in U.S. history because the deal cut by the parties ended Reconstruction.

        It was probably more controversial than 2000 since the deal cut to make Hayes POTUS ended Reconstruction. The 1876 election came up in discussions a lot during the 2000 recount/litigation.

        It appears he grew the beard when he was in the Union Army during the War and was apparently not going to shave after that.pic.twitter.com/smi5rppKxt

        He swore he wouldn’t shave until the Bengals won the Super Bowl.

        @WhoresofYore This may just qualify as a #historicalhottie if it doesn’t turn out to be Drew Brees on vacation & visiting an “old timey photo” shop
