When were the most presidents alive at one time?

Answer 1

Five were alive from January 21, 1989 until the day Richard Nixon died on April 22, 1994.. Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Carter & George H. W. Bush. Clinton was President.

When Clinton left office on January 21, 2001, he joined Ford, Carter, Reagan and Bush I to make five living ex's again.

When Bush II leaves office, we will have four ex-presidents with one in office. Bush I, Bush II, Clinton, Carter. Obama will be President.

Answer 2

Six

The greatest number of living current and former U. S. Presidents at one time is six. It happened three times, once per century beginning in the 19th century. The longest period by far has been the most recent at 1232 days.

Answer 3

The record is five . This first occurred when Lincoln took office in 1861 and Van Buren, Tyler, Fillmore, Pierce and Buchanan were all still alive. It happened again in 1993 when Clinton took office and Ford, Nixon, Carter, Reagan, George W. Bush were all alive.

I think right now is the greatest number. Carter, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II and Obama are all alive - that, I think, is an historical first.
