At three points in US history, six presidents (current or former) were alive at the same time. These points were: From March, 1861-January, 1862: Presidents Van Buren, Tyler, Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, and Lincoln were alive. January 1993-April 1994: Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush (the first) and Clinton were all around. January, 2001-June, 2004: Still living were Presidents Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush (the first), Clinton, and Bush (the second). When either Trump or Clinton take office in January, 2017, he or she will join Carter, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, and Obama as living presidents, making it a fourth time in history six presidents were alive.
The youngest living president is the incumbent, Barack Obama, born August 4, 1961 (aged 7009173644560000000â 55 years, 9 days). The longest-lived president was Gerald Ford, who died at the age of 93 years and 165 days. Ronald Reagan was the second longest-lived, 45 days short of Ford. The oldest living president, George H. W. Bush, will tie Reagan if he lives to October 10, 2017, and tie Ford if he lives to November 24, 2017.
