Yes, JFK was the youngest American president elected so far. He was of Irish descent and a graduate of Harvard University. He was also the first Roman Catholic President. I was glad to see you asked this question because i actually learned a lot about Kennedy that i didn't know by researching it. I did not know he was almost killed while in the Navy or that he had won a Pulitzer Prize in history. He was a very fascinating man.
