Who was the 1st president that was younger than you while in office?

[allniter89]

While listening to Obamas' "I ♥ Cuba" announcement today I realized that I was older than the president of the US. Thats the 1st time that happened.... kinda made me feel old .
When did you become senior to a serving US prez?

[briantroutman]

Based on average ages of Presidents at time of election, probably not until 2040 or later.

Old people thread.

Old people thread.

Yup.  I can check off the first item on the list, but all the others I'd have to be on Medicare.

I'll add that I'm old enough to have voted against, at least once, each of the first seven presidents on the list.

Since the Constitution requires a minimum age of 35 to be president, many of us will have to wait many years to even hypothetically have a president younger than them.

I laughed that Lyndon Johnson was a choice.

Do we have anyone on here aged 106 or older?

[Roadgeek Adam]

Looking at this list, most of the site wishes these dates began in 20-.

[hbelkins]

None yet. Obama is about four months older than I am.

[golden eagle]

I'm only 40, do none of them.

We haven't had a centenarian President yet (Ford, the oldest at death, made it just to age 93), and we have had damn few centenarian governors--just Albert Rosellini (WA), Nellie Tayloe Ross (WY), Jimmie Davis (LA), Alf Landon (KS), Roswell Colcord (NV), George Parks (AK) (if we include territorial governors, as Wikipedia does), and maybe one or two others.

None yet.

I'm in this boat. I won't be old enough to be President for another 10 years. (And we have never had a President in their 30s–the youngest was 42 at time of elevation to the presidency–it was Theodore Roosevelt, who became president after William McKinley of the $500 bill was assassinated.)

The thread title includes the phrase "while in office", but the poll has their dates of birth, not their age when sworn in.  The youngest president to assume office was Teddy Roosevelt, who was 42 when McKinley died.

Since the original post specifically refers to being older than a currently-serving US president, the answer is none of the above. If the question were when you were first older than anyone who had ever served as president, the answer would be sometime in 2015 or 2016 when I'm 42 and I pass Theodore Roosevelt (as noted in kkt's post).

[PHLBOS]

None yet.

He's just over a year older than my brother.

Just curious, do we even have members of this forum who were born before 1946?

[mjb2002]

None of them. Of course, I'm still younger than all of the ones that will be running in 2016.

Screw that

Do we have anyone born before January 1913 and would be able to select Ford? If so, please post more.

NE2 is 1000 years old, according to the information under his avatar.

If the two major parties' tendency to run fossils for president continue, I doubt I'll live that long to be honest.

So he would've been born in either 1014 or 1015? I wonder what road geeking was like back then!

[Scott5114]

It probably involved more goats...

You could have lots of fun finding the routes of the old Roman roads.

^^ more fun now than in the Middle Ages, as they are less obvious.
