Jimmy Carter sets a new record on October 1, his birthday, when he will become the first American president to reach triple digits.Celebrating Milestones: Jimmy Carter Becomes the Oldest Former President in U.S. History…read more

It’s a milestone more and more Americans will reach in the years to come – and something the American social safety net is not prepared for.

 

 

Carter’s post-presidency began in 1981 after he lost his bid for reelection and when he was 56, too young for Social Security and Medicare.

Carter did not dedicate his post-presidential life to sitting on corporate boards and raking in speaking fees, as other recent presidents have done.

Carter got his hands dirty building houses, took on peace missions to Cuba and the Middle East, negotiated the release of hostages, lived in his home town, taught Sunday school and college classes, wrote books, and won Grammys.

 

 

His has been, indisputably, the longest, most righteous and most productive post-presidency in history, although John Quincy Adams’ post-presidential, anti-slavery efforts in Congress get honorable mention.
