David Rice Atchison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (774 words)
Through his tenure in Missouri, Atchison also served in the state legislature and as a circuit-court judge, and in 1843 was appointed to the United States Senate to replace a Missouri Senator who had just died.
Atchison was 41 years and 6 months old at the time of his "presidency," which, if it had been official, would still make him the youngest President in American history.
Atchison is buried in his home of Plattsburg, Missouri, where a statue honors him in front of the Clinton County Courthouse.
