Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States, has lived long enough to overlap with 17 other commanders-in-chief.
Let's take a look at that list of presidents and when they served:Born in September 1857, Taft became the 27th president of the United States when he won the 1908 election over William Jennings Bryan.
By the time of Carter's birth, Coolidge had been in the White House for more than a year. That fall, he went on to win the 1924 election over John W. Davis. FDR's fourth term ended prematurely when he died in 1945, and he overlapped with Carter for just 20 years.Truman did not make it to see his ninth decade, dying at the age of 88, but he did live into the 1970s — long enough to most likely hear about a young Georgia politician making waves in the Democratic Party.
He lived until March 28, 1969, overlapping almost 45 years with the soon-to-be president from Georgia.The 43-year-old senator from Massachusetts was the youngest politician elected president, and one of just three to be in their 40s when they took over the Oval Office .While Kennedy's election symbolized change in America, the 35th president's term was cut short when he was assassinated in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963.
He also held the distinction as the longest-living U.S. president when he passed away on Dec. 26, 2006, at the age of 93, a title that Carter has since taken over.Reagan, the Hollywood actor-turned-politician, also made it to 93 before dying in June 2004. Clinton's post-presidency timespan has reached 23 years, placing him sixth behind Carter, Hoover, Ford, Bush and John Adams .Bush, the son of George H.W. Bush, served as the 43rd president of the United States from 2001 through 2009.
