Shutting down business seems like a fitting tribute to him. Lord knows his economic policies did plenty of that.

State funeral to distract us from the current cadaverous President.

Another Federal Holiday! Yay! We might get two of these in 2025 if Biden goes.

Jan 9 should be a day of remembrance (not mourning) for Jimmy Carter.

He had a good, very long life with many achievements, even though he was not the most successful President. And his remembrance should be a Christian one, since he was a Christian all his life.

Is it appropriate to say “late former”? Isn’t “former” implied by “late”?

The Bible tells us that we mere humans are entitled to ‘Threescore and ten’ (70) years. Anything above that is God’s grace and gift to you......................

Former doesn’t imply ‘late’ which implies ‘dead’...........

Just curious, but is there a significance to January 9th? Or is it just the date they picked to do this?

Just the date they, Congress, picked. I don’t think it’s significant for any particular reason...........

True, but We should at least make 70 if we live properly:

Psalm 90:10 - King James Version

10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

I know, but if you are late, you definitely are former.
