John McCain — born on August 29, 1936 — will be 72 years old on Inauguration Day, January 20, 2009, which would make him the oldest man ever to be elected president should he win the election.

Should he live to see the United States remove itself fully from Iraq, he will be 10,067 years old, making him the longest lived human being by a good stretch.

Go back to Day 73.
