In Short

It was a rare and historic moment on Thursday, when five former presidents who have at some point occupied the Oval Office since 1993, gathered at Washington National Cathedral to honor Jimmy Carter’s legacy during his funeral.

Carter, who passed away on December 29 at grand old age of 100, was the longest-living president in American history. He became the first former president to reach the milestone of 100 years.

Here’s a look at the remaining five living presidents:

Joe Biden
