List of presidents of the United States by age

From Our Time Travel Wiki

This is a list of presidents of the United States by age. The first table charts the age of each president of the United States at the time of presidential inauguration (first inauguration if elected to multiple and consecutive terms), upon leaving office, and at the time of death. Where the president is still living, their lifespan is calculated up to May 9, 2025.

Age of presidents

Age of presidents when assuming office

The median age at inauguration of incoming U.S. presidents is 55 years.[1][2] The specific years and days median is 55 years and 104.5 days, which falls midway between how old Warren G. Harding was in 1921 and Lyndon B. Johnson was in 1963.

The youngest person to assume the presidency was Theodore Roosevelt, who, at the age of 42, succeeded to the office after the assassination of William McKinley.[1] The youngest to become president by election was John F. Kennedy, who was inaugurated at age 43.[3] The oldest person to assume the presidency was Joe Biden, who took the presidential oath of office 61 days after turning 78.[1][4]

Assassinated at age 46, John F. Kennedy was the youngest president at the end of his tenure, and his lifespan was the shortest of any president.[3][5] At age 50, Theodore Roosevelt was the youngest person to become a former president.[6] The oldest president at the end of his tenure was Ronald Reagan at 77; this distinction will eventually devolve upon Joe Biden, who was older when he took office than Reagan was when he left office.[2][4] Biden was born before four of his predecessors: Donald Trump, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.[7]

James K. Polk had the shortest retirement of any president, dying barely three months after leaving office at age 53 (the youngest president to die of natural causes).[8] Jimmy Carter's retirement, now 44 years, is the longest in American presidential history. At age 100, Jimmy Carter is also the oldest living president[2] as well as the nation's longest-lived president.[9] He is one of six U.S. presidents (along with John Adams, Herbert Hoover, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford and George H. W. Bush) to have lived into their 90s.[10] The youngest living president is Barack Obama, age 63.
