Ronald Reagan was younger than John McCain.
At the time of his inauguration, Ronald Reagan was a spritely 69 years, 11 months, and 14 days old. He was known to be big on naps.

Sorry, I have to call BS on this one. Reagan would be 97 years old if he were still alive. Even McCain isn’t THAT old.

Read the English. Ronald Reagan *was* older at the time of his inauguration than McCain would be at the time of his, if he gets elected.

still, seems a bit missleading

Yeah this is a stupid one. Of course the universe was once younger than mccain is now. It follows that everything known to man was once younger.

I agree it’s misleading, but I get the point, which seems to be the whole point of your website: How old McCain is and will be if he were to take office.
Fabulous idea for a website! I love it.
One request though: You should have McCain’s age on here somewhere. Nowhere do you actually say. And when you list something that is older than he is, maybe tell us how old that thing is.

Ronald Regan was also big on not knowing where he was or who he was talking to.

Regan also suffered from Altheimer’s Disease and McCain was tortured by the enemy….

And Ron consulted his wife’s astronomer for government business. That’s dementia for ya!

[in discrete whisper that only Ferdinand can hear] Astrologer. Nancy had an astrologer. All the Reagan-approved astronomers were busy manufacturing justifications for the Star Wars missile defense system. Ironically, these were even less credible than the pronouncements of the astrologers.

Eight presidents have died while in office. Of those eight, four were assassinated. Of the remaining four, Zachary Taylor died of Cholera and William Harrison died of Pneumonia. These two diseases were not ones to worry about by 2008. Franklin Delano Roosevelt died of a cerebral hemorrhage caused by arterial sclerosis. However, he was also serving his fourth term of office, something the 25th amendment to the Constitution no longer allows, and he was relatively young at age 63. The fourth man, Warren Harding died of a stroke, which in 2008 was still considered deadly but his age of 58 would not have been considered a danger. Of the four presidents who were assassinated, Abraham Lincoln (56), James Garfield (49), William McKinley (58) and John Kennedy (47), the average age was 52. Presidential actuarial history may be suggesting that youth, rather than age, is more of a debilitating factor.
