How old was JFK when he was elected?
He was born on May 29, 1917 so He was only 43 when he won the election in Nov. 1960 … He didn’t turn 44 until May 29, 1961 … He was 46 when he was killed on Nov. 22, 1963. Kennedy was the youngest man elected President; he is also the youngest to die, in or out of office. Theodore Roosevelt was younger (42) when he became president, it was because of the assassination of President McKinley, so he can not claim the title of the youngest person ever elected to the office of The President of The United States of America..
