When Ronald Reagan left office, he was the oldest person to ever be the President of the United States, at 78 years old. He was also the oldest person elected president, at 69 years old. If John McCain wins the nomination and then the general election in November, he will beat that record at 72 years old.
That would be all of them except for the 43 men who DID serve as President.
One of the few constitutional duties of the Vice-President is to serve as President of the US Senate.
The president of the US isn't appointed ... rather, elected. A maximum of two terms (8 years) is all they can serve in that office.
Ronald Reagan was the oldest president at the time of his inauguration. When he was sworn in on January 20, 1981, he was 69 years old
In the US there is a line of succession should a president be unable to serve due to illness or death. The next in line to serve as president is the Vice President. This was seen when President Nixon resigned and Vice president Ford became president. Should a vice president be unable to serve, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives becomes the new president.
The current US president, Obama, is the 43rd person to serve as President.
