Congratulations to Gerald Ford, who today becomes the oldest person ever to have served as President of the United States. As usual, Wikipedia is on it.

(Notw: It’s hard to figure out how to phrase this accomplishment. He’s not the “oldest U.S. president ever,” because that implies he was the oldest president while he served in office. But a few people have him beat on that. He is the “oldest ex-U.S. president ever,” but that understates the accomplishment; it implies that there could have been, say, a president who died in office at age 95; he/she would have been older than Gerald Ford but never got to be an ex-president because he/she died in office. Yay, nitpicking!)
