10. He’s the Youngest Former Governor in History

In 1978, in a shocking upset, thirty-two-year-old Clinton made history when he won the governor’s election at an incredibly young age. Unfortunately, the inexperienced Clinton “had several missteps, including difficulties in handling rioting among Cuban refugees … [raising] auto license fees to pay for road construction and [alienating] the state’s powerful timber interests by an unsuccessful intervention in the controversy over the practice of clear-cutting.” Subsequently, voters outed Clinton in the next election, making him the proud owner of the dubious title of youngest former governor.
