   Jimmy Carter set the all-time record for time as former president, at   
   53 years and 344 days. This crushed Herbert Hoover's 31 years and 200   
   days.   
      
   The next opportunity to tie Carter's record is December 30, 2054,   
   which would be 133 days after Bill Clinton's 108th birthday. Not only   
   is this highly unlikely to occur, but the number of current   
   alt.obituaries readers who will be around to witness it will surely be   
   small. The probability of Clinton tying Hoover's old record is more   
   realistic for both him and ourselves. He will have to live to 85 years   
   and 354 days old, and we will have to live another eight years, until   
   7 August 2032.   
      
   With Carter's death, the U.S. returns to having four living former   
   presidents. I have not done any analysis on this, but four former   
   presidents seems to be the central tendency or norm for this   
   statistic, at least during my lifetime.
