Best Answer

The honors go to Ronald Regan, who was also the oldest President elected, at the age of 69. Regan, who was born February 6, 1911, served two terms in office from 1981-1989. He was less than one month shy of his 78th birthday when succeeded by George H. W. Bush.

Most people believe Jimmy Carter is the oldest surviving U.S. President at 86 years (in 2010), but George H. W. Bush is actually older by 111 days.
