Who are the oldest living US presidents? Trump to break inauguration age record
The entire “Presidents Club” will be at a U.S. inauguration for the first time since President Obama’s first inauguration in 2009.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump set a new record the moment he was sworn into office on Inauguration Day.
After former President Jimmy Carter’s death in December, outgoing-President Joe Biden became the oldest living U.S. president. He’s also the oldest serving U.S. president, but it’s a record that Trump could break in a few years.
That’s because Trump on Monday became the oldest U.S. president ever sworn into office. It’s a milestone previously held by Biden, the man who was his successor and now also predecessor, when he was sworn in at age 78 back in 2021.
When Biden’s presidency ended on Monday, he was 82 years and 2 months (or 30,012 days) old. Trump would break that record of being the oldest serving U.S. president toward the end of his second term on Aug. 15, 2028.
Who are the five living presidents?
After Biden and Trump, the next oldest living presidents are George W. Bush (78), Bill Clinton (78) and Barack Obama (63).
Jimmy Carter’s funeral earlier this month was the first time in more than six years that all living U.S. presidents, sometimes referred to as the “Presidents Club,” were in the same place at the same time.
Monday’s festivities will be the first presidential inauguration featuring all of the living men who also held that office since President Obama’s first inauguration in 2009.
During Obama’s second inauguration in 2013, both ex-presidents named Bush didn’t attend. In 2017, George H.W. Bush missed Trump’s first inauguration due to his age and health.
In 2021, then-outgoing President Trump skipped his successor’s inauguration. The Carters were also not in attendance to see Biden take the Oath of Office, due to the couple’s health and concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic.
While all the ex-Presidents will be in attendance, former first lady Michelle Obama will not be there. No explanation was given for why Michelle Obama was skipping Trump’s inauguration. She also did not attend last week’s state funeral in Washington for former President Jimmy Carter.
How old is Joe Biden?
Joe Biden, the 46th U.S. President, is 82 years old (Born Nov. 20, 1942)
How old is Bill Clinton?
Bill Clinton, the 42nd U.S. President, is 78 years old (Born Aug. 19, 1946)
How old is George W. Bush?
George W. Bush, the 43rd U.S. President, is 78 years old (Born July 6, 1946)
How old is Barack Obama?
Barack Obama, the 44th U.S. President, is 63 years old (Born Aug. 4, 1961)
How old is Donald Trump?
Donald Trump, the 45th and soon-to-be 47th U.S. President, is 78 years old (Born June 14, 1946)
As of 2021, the oldest living US presidents are Jimmy Carter, who was born on October 1, 1924, and is currently 96 years old, and George H. W. Bush, who was born on June 12, 1924, and passed away on November 30, 2018, at the age of 94.
However, with the upcoming inauguration of Joe Biden on January 20, 2021, Donald Trump is set to break the record for the oldest US president to be inaugurated. Trump was born on June 14, 1946, and will be 74 years old at the time of Biden’s inauguration.
It is worth noting that both Carter and Bush have lived long and remarkable lives, with Carter becoming the longest-lived US president in history in 2019. Trump’s inauguration at the age of 70 already made him the oldest US president to take office, and his upcoming record-breaking age at the time of Biden’s inauguration adds another milestone to his presidential legacy.
