Being the President of arguably the most powerful nation in the world is obviously a stressful task, but these photos and details will show what effect it had on the presidents who served in the US. Most of the president here served for around 8 years and they had faced many health problems during their tenure.
Being serving for such a long-term will obviously result in aging but these photos will show you how the heavy-pressure position resulted in serious transformations.

Barack Obama the 44th president of United States took office on January 20th, 2008. His sworn-in ceremony was the most attended and viewed event ever by the Global audience. He became the first black president of America. His successes include visiting Cuba and ending American embargo imposed nearly half a century ago. Visiting Myanmar to end the Military rule. The assassination of Osama Bin Laden at his house. He tried many health-related projects which failed miserably and by his own admission, failing to win the peace in Libya.
Was it reviving America from the 2008 Financial Crash or the carefully planned assassination of Osama Bin Laden reason to these silver hair arriving prematurely?
