   The Queen's fifty-three years as the youngest person on the list   
   are over.   
      
   Sept 2005...LDS president,Gordon B. Hinckley (1910)   
          British monarch/matriarch,Elizabeth II(1926)   
          Pope,Benedict XVI(1927)   
          Chief Justice,John G. Roberts (1955)   
      
   The youngest Chief Justice in centuries lowers the floor age of   
   the list to its lowest point in almost thirty years.   
      
   2008...British monarch/matriarch,Elizabeth II(1926)   
          Pope,Benedict XVI(April 1927)   
          LDS president,Thomas S. Monson (August 1927)   
          Chief Justice,John G. Roberts (1955)   
      
   The Queen has gone from bottom to top in six years.   
      
   2013...British monarch/matriarch,Elizabeth II(1926)   
          LDS president,Thomas S. Monson (1927)   
          Pope,Francis I(1936)   
          Chief Justice,John G. Roberts (1955)   
      
   2018...LDS president,Russell M. Nelson(1924)   
          British monarch/matriarch,Elizabeth II(1926)   
          Pope,Francis I(1936)   
          Chief Justice,John G. Roberts (1955)   
      
   LDS succession moves the Queen back into second place...and some   
   nonagenarians get moved out of the "older than" category.   
      
   2022...LDS president,Russell M. Nelson(1924)   
          Pope,Francis I(1936)   
          British monarch,Charles III(1948)   
          Chief Justice,John G. Roberts (1955)   
      
   Nelson survives the Queen.   
   If Camilla counts as "matriarch" she was born 1947.   
      
   May 2025...LDS president,Russell M. Nelson(1924)   
          British monarch,Charles III(1948)   
          Chief Justice,John G. Roberts (Jan 1955)   
          Pope,Leo XIV(Sept 1955)   
      
   The election of one of the younger Cardinals as Pope   
   lowers the floor of the list by less than eight months.   
      
   Sept 2025...LDS president,Dallin H. Oaks(1932)   
          British monarch,Charles III(1948)   
          Chief Justice,John G. Roberts (Jan 1955)   
          Pope,Leo XIV(Sept 1955)   
      
   The death of the oldest LDS president ever lowers the top   
   but the new one is still years older than the others listed.   
      
   The death of Oaks will not lower the floor or even the top   
   of the list (the first 3 men in line are years older than King Charles,   
   and 11 of the 13 men in succession are older than Pope Leo).   
   Right now you have to be more than 2 months past 93 years   
   old to be older than the whole list,and if younger than 5 weeks   
   past seventy are younger than them all.   
      
   Meanwhile the older-thans die every day.

   The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,   
   at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
