John Fitzgerald Kennedy was 36 when elected, Theodore Roosevelt was 43. I'm Canadian and know more about your country then you.
Wrong. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was elected into office at 43, Theodore Roosevelt came into office at 42 after William McKinley was shot and killed. Therefore, Kennedy was the youngest to hold elected office, but not the youngest to hold office in general.
Also, it's than, not then.
