Mon Jan 20 16:40:00 UTC 2025: **Trump Set to Become Oldest US President at Second Inauguration**
WASHINGTON D.C. – Donald Trump will make history on Monday as he is sworn in for a second term as President of the United States, becoming the oldest person ever to assume the office at age 78 years and seven months. This surpasses the previous record held by Joe Biden.
Trump’s inauguration at 78 years old marks a significant milestone, exceeding the average age of US presidents at inauguration (57) by over two decades. The youngest president at inauguration was Theodore Roosevelt at age 42. This second term also distinguishes Trump, as most presidents have only served one term. Only 15 out of the 46 presidencies prior involved multiple terms.
The article further details the ages of past presidents, their lifespans, and their time in office, highlighting the longest-living president, Jimmy Carter, and the shortest-serving, William Henry Harrison. The piece also notes the 22nd Amendment’s establishment of the two-term limit in 1951, a response to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s four terms.
