Explanation

Theodore Roosevelt became President at age 42 after McKinley's assassination, making him the youngest person to assume the office. Kennedy was youngest elected (43). Clinton, Washington, and Obama were all older when first inaugurated.

AI explanation

Theodore Roosevelt is the youngest person to become U.S. President, taking office at age 42 in 1901 after President William McKinley's assassination (he succeeded to the office rather than being elected to it initially). This is distinct from John F. Kennedy, who was the youngest person elected president (at 43), but the question asks for youngest President overall, which is Roosevelt. Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were both in their 40s when inaugurated but older than Roosevelt at the time he took office, and George Washington was in his late 50s when he became the first president.
