Jimmy Carter celebrated his 100th birthday on Oct 1, 2024. This is a significant achievement, but especially impressive for Carter as he is the first president to reach a triple-digit age in the United States’ nearly 250-year history.

Carter was awarded the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize; however, he is widely regarded as a poor president.
