(CNN)Jimmy Carter, the son of a Georgia peanut farmer who'd go on to be America's 39th president, turns 96 today. He's the oldest living former US president -- and he's outlived every other occupant of the Oval Office.

At 96, the Nobel Peace Prize winner remains the longest-living president in US history, surpassing George H. W. Bush, who died in 2018 at 94. Carter's kept busy since his last birthday. He was hospitalized for much of the latter half of 2019 to recover from brain surgery, infections and two falls. His health woes forced him to stop teaching Sunday school at Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia, a tradition he took up after leaving office in 1981.

He is social distancing and wearing a mask for his birthday party?

Only the good die young.

[Don Corleone]

Pounding nails at a Habitat project?

Die bitch die. Yes, that is very classy of me.

“Carter’s kept busy since his last birthday. He was hospitalized for much of the latter half of 2019 to recover from brain surgery”

What brain?

[Sans-Culotte]

Only a matter of time before he joins his buddy Fidel in...somewhere.

Seems to be taking a long time to build his Habitat for Eternity.

He’s probably in rough shape. At the virtual Democrat convention, he and Rosalyn did audio statements, rather than appear on camera.

“...he’s outlived every other occupant of the Oval Office.”

I always thought that to outlive somebody meant to be alive after the other person has died. Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama are still alive, last I heard, not to mention President Trump.

You heard it here first... DNC may be, errr, programming Jimmah’s demise on the eve of the next debate.

If you don't have anything good to say, it is better not to say anything. So here are my thoughts:

... and that about sums it up.

“outlived every other occupant of the Oval Office”

That is a stupid statement.
Clinton, Bush, and Obama are still alive. They are younger than Carter, but he has not “outlived” them...yet.

Just proves that peanuts are healthy . . . Billy beer, not so much.

[hanamizu]

How about, “He has lived longer than every other occupant of the White House.”?
I don’t know that one “occupies” the Oval Office.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Yes, but will he beat George Burns for longevity? He died on his 100th B-day.

[SkyDancer]

God is keeping him alive so he can wallow in his sins.

[dfwgator]

Well he is the last living X-President
