Did You Know?  Richard Rush was only 34-years-old when he was appointed by President Monroe as Attorney General of the United States.  Rush served from 1814-1817, and he remains the youngest Attorney General in U.S. history.  In 1828, Rush was President John Quincy Adams's running mate, but they ultimately lost the election to Andrew Jackson.
