Oldest President of the United States
Oldest President of the United States Who do you think is the oldest president in United States history? The oldest president in office was Ronald Reagan, but the oldest to become president isà Donald Trump. Trump has Reagan beat by nearly 8 months, entering office at the age of 70 years, 220 days. Reagan took his first oath of office at the age of 69 years, 349 days. Perspective on Presidential Age Few Americans who were adults during the Reagan administration can forget how much the Presidents age was discussed in the media, particularly during the latter years of his second term in office. But was Reagan really that muchà older than all the other presidents? It depends on how you look at the question. When he entered office, Reagan was less than twoà years older than William Henry Harrison, four years older than James Buchanan,à and five years older than George H.W. Bush, who succeeded Reagan as President. However, the gaps grow wider when you look at the respective ages when these presidents left office. Reagan was a two-term president and left office at the age of 77. Harrison served only 1 month in office, and both Buchanan and and Bush served only a single full term.
