which u.s. president sported a handlebar mustache?

The U.S. president who sported a handlebar mustache was William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States. His handlebar mustache, with long curved extensions, was a distinctive feature that set him apart and became a symbol of his individuality and authority during his presidency from 1909 to 1913. Taft's handlebar mustache marked the end of an era of presidents with facial hair, as subsequent presidents have been clean-shaven or had little facial hair.
