(2009–2017).

Current, most, and fewest living presidents

Living presidents as of April 30, 2024 (from oldest to youngest):[3][4][5][6]

There have been four time periods with six living presidents – i.e., the incumbent and five former presidents:[4][5][6]

There have been six time periods when the incumbent president was the only living president, having no living predecessors:[7]

Notably, Richard Nixon is the only person to have been both the only living U.S. president (from January 1973 to August 1974) and one of six living presidents (from January 1993 to April 1994).

Living presidents gallery

There have been several gatherings of all the living presidents. Below are photographs of groups of persons who, at one time or another, comprised all living presidents. (although several of these photographs were taken prior to or after the time period in which the persons depicted were the only living presidents, and in some photos one of the presidents depicted had not yet formally taken office).
