79

Today marks 81 days until John McCain turns 72 years old.

Only two presidents in our history have reached their 70s while in office. Ronald Reagan (our oldest president ever) turned 70 during his first year. Dwight Eisenhower turned 70 during the last few months of his presidency.

But no first term president has ever been elected while already in their 70s, much less nearing their mid-70s like John McCain.
