Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on March 06, 1939)

Happy Birthday, Kit Bond! You made Missouri history by clinching the governorship at an impressive 33 years young—proving you could juggle leadership along with youthful ambition. Throughout your remarkable career in politics—from youngest-ever governor to seasoned Senator—you've definitely shown that age is only a number and humor remains bipartisan.

May your birthday be as hearty and enduring as your two non-consecutive gubernatorial terms—and just like those repeated successes, may this special day keep coming back around for many more productive encores! Here's hoping retirement has brought fewer filibusters but just as much laughter. Enjoy celebrating today, Governor-Senator-legendary multitasker-extraordinaire!
