With the US Presidential election coming up and the fiasco that is two old men vying for power, I thought I'd take a quick look at the average age of past US Presidents when they took office.
Yes, I have too much time on my hands.
The average age of US Presidents when they take office is 56.
These two clowns will be well into their 80s if either of them is successful for a 2nd term. I do not understand why neither of these parties can find candidates in their 50s with a bit of vigour and energy.
Other interesting stats on US Presidents:
Youngest to take office - Theodore Roosevelt 43 years of age.
Youngest elected to take office - John F Kennedy 44 years of age.
Oldest to take office - Joe Biden 79 years of age
Number of Presidents taking office in their 40s - 7
Number of Presidents taking office in their 50s - 26
Number of Presidents taking office in their 60s - 9
Number of Presidents taking office in their 70s - 3
