The Presidential Book of Lists Summary

The Five Presidents Who Lived Longest

1. Gerald Ford. Born on July 14, 1913, he overtook Ronald Reagan as the oldest President on November 12, 2006, and then died December 26, 2006. He was 93 years, 164 days old.

2. Ronald Reagan. Born on February 6, 1911, he was 93 years, 120 days old when he died on June 5, 2004. In October 2001 he eclipsed John Adams’s record, which had stood since 1826.

3. John Adams. Born on October 30, 1735, more than 40 years before the United States itself was born, our second President was the longest lived for almost two centuries. He took the title from George Washington in 1802, and held it until 2001. He died on July 4, 1826, aged 90 years, 247 days.

4. Herbert Hoover. Born on August 10, 1874, he lived 90 years, 71 days, and died on October 20, 1964, having been retired from the presidency for 31 years.

5. Harry Truman. Born May 8, 1884, he was 88 years, 232 days old when he died on December 26, 1972.

Only four Presidents have held the title of “longest lived”: George Washington (who, as the first President, held most of the titles first), John Adams, Ronald Reagan, and Gerald Ford.

George H.W. Bush won’t be able to knock Truman off this list until January 30, 2013 (he’ll take the title from Ford on November 24, 2017). Jimmy Carter is 111 days younger than GHWBush. George W. Bush will be 88 years, 232 days old on February 23, 2039. Bill Clinton is 41 days younger than his successor, GWBush.
