From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

This is a list of presidents' age at the time of ascension to the office, not election to the Presidency. For Presidents who served two or more terms, as long as they were consecutive (see note at bottom), the age is only given for the start of the first term.

( * ) Since Grover Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms, his age at ascension each time is represented.

( ** ) Since Theodore Roosevelt finished McKinley's second term, he was not actually elected president until he was over the age of 46. Consequently John F. Kennedy is still the youngest man ever to be elected president.
