The youngest US President

When asked who is the youngest man to become President of the United States of America most people believe that is was John F. Kennedy who was elected to office at the age of 43, however they would be mistaken. The youngest President was Theodore Roosevelt who became President at the age of 42 when President William McKinley was assassinated. However Kennedy does hold the distinction as the youngest man elected President.
