@timrichards ah, you are right - the chart I read is very confusingly labelled - I checked Gorton on wiki and see what you mean.
In any case, our President is typically mid-50s when he (still only "he") takes office.
Old Congress people - especially senators - stick around for ever for the perks

@codebyjeff The past two US presidents seem to be skewing that though. (I assume you're American though you don't mention it in your profile.)
