Why did Franklin Pierce stick his hand in his shirt?
The picture you are referring to was taken when he was about to leave office. I do not know the reason for it, but it was not a habit. I would guess that is was the photographer's idea.

The right hand is actually tucked into his vest, not his shirt.
