35 indeed - Theodore Roosevelt, 42, was sworn in
after the assassination of William McKinley in 1901,
making J. F. Kennedy, 43, the youngest president
actually voted to the office. At 69, Ronald Reagan
was the oldest president to take office.

35 when you take office. Technically a person could run and get elected president as long as he or she turns 35 by Inauguration Day.
