Breaking News - the million $$ question?

TR had been vice president and became president upon the assassination of William McKinley in 1901.

He was 42 years old at the time he was sworn into office at what is now the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site in Buffalo, NY.

He was then elected President in his own right in 1904.

His Inaugural Medal from 1905 reads: "Second Inauguration March 5, 1905."

JFK was elected to the presidency when he was 43.
