After the assassination of President William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt became the youngest president of the United States. Roosevelt took office on September 14, 1901, at the age of 42 years and 322 days. He led Congress and the American public through incremental reforms that brought excitement and energy to the president. Roosevelt was a liberal leader who believed that the president was "the steward of the people." He had struggled with ill health as a young man, and his wife and mother both died on the same day. He left office on March 4, 1909, and died on January 6, 1919, at the age of 60.

2. John F. Kennedy

As we all know, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States. He succeeded Lyndon Johnson on January 20, 1961, at the age of 43 years and 236 days.

3. Bill Clinton

Bill Clinton was the 42nd President of the United States. He succeeded George Herbert Walker Bush on January 20, 1993, at the age of 46 years and 154 days.

Before becoming president, he served as governor of Arkansas. Clinton's term ended on January 20, 2001, and he was succeeded by George W. Bush.
