Let's play a little presidential trivia....
Who was the youngest president of the United States?
4pm Update:
I see only two brave souls took a guess--- and
both are incorrect. It was not JFK.
I hear gasps out there in cyberland!
Yes, everyone thinks JFK was the youngest president, but he was, in fact, only the youngest president ever elected.
There was someone else who was younger, but was not elected. He took over upon the death of someone else.
You really didn't think I would give you an easy question, did you? LOL
Just click the comments and take your guess.

I know it is JFK, but I think Clinton may have been second or third.
ReplyDeleteYes, even in Australia we know it to be JFK. Well, he was at the time he was elected and I don't think there's been anyone younger since then.
ReplyDeleteHa ha.... I cheated and used my google fu, so know I know.
ReplyDeleteBut I'll leave the question as it stands. Good question. I didn't think I was going to find it with google, even...!!!
More fun trivia:
ReplyDeleteWhich presidents were related?
A: There have been two sets of presidents who were father and son: John Adams and John Quincy Adams, and George Bush and George W. Bush. Other presidents who were related: William H. Harrison and Benjamin Harrison (grandfather and grandson) ; James Madison and Zachary Taylor (second cousins) ; and Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt (fifth cousins).
Jenn, you are so honest to admit you googled :)
ReplyDeleteI used to study Pres. trivia just for the fun of it. I've forgotten most of the facts I once knew. Other than the youngest pres., I remember there was just one bachelor president...Buchanan.
That was a trick question because JFK was still the youngest 'elected president'. ; )
ReplyDeleteI also googled the 'president who took over after his predecessor had been killed'. I knew this from a trivia game, I swear. It was TR.
Theodore Roosevelt is the answer.
