Who was the youngest elected President of the United States?

This question tests how we distinguish between age at the moment of election and age when someone actually becomes president. John F. Kennedy was elected in 1960 at age 43, making him the youngest person ever elected to the presidency. Theodore Roosevelt was younger when he first became president (42) after McKinley’s assassination, but he didn’t start his term by election. Polk was elected at 49, and Obama at 47. So, JFK is the correct choice because he was the youngest elected president.
