Rock the Vote sent out our first Text Quiz. We asked:

A. John F. Kennedy
B. Theodore Roosevelt
C. Chester A Arthur

A resounding 87% of our SMS participants chose John F. Kennedy (JFK), but the correct answer was Theodore Roosevelt (only 8% knew that!).

To be fair it was something of a trick question. At the age of 43 JFK became the youngest person to be ELECTED president. However, Theodore Roosevelt beat Kennedy by one year when he, as Vice President, succeeded the deceased President William McKinley in 1901 and BECAME president at the age of 42.

When he was elected to his first full term as president the 46 year old Theodore Roosevelt would be 3 years older than JFK was at his first election, but it still remains that Teddy Roosevelt was the youngest person to ever become president of the United States of America.

Our third Choice, Chester A Arthur was just 14 days short of 52 when he became our nation’s 21st president.
