Youngest Presidents 11/14/07

Youngest Presidents           11/14/07
(Thanksgiving Bonus: This question runs for two weeks, through 11/27)

Wow, I guess this was a trick question, since everyone thought the answer was JFK.  It's not!  The correct answer is C- Theodore Roosevelt.  Yes, JFK was the youngest president ever elected, at age 43...but Teddy Roosevelt was only 42 when he became president upon the assassination of President McKinley.  Bill Clinton and Ulysses S. Grant were the next youngest; they were both 46.
--------------------------------------------
If he's elected, Barack Obama will be America's 5th-youngest president, at 47 years, 169 days old on Inauguration Day. Who was our youngest president ever?
A. John F. Kennedy
