Jimmy Carter celebrates 100th birthday as longest-living U.S. president

Former President Jimmy Carter celebrated his 100th birthday on October 1, becoming the longest-living U.S. president. He has spent the last 19 months in hospice care and is the only president to reach this milestone. Carter, who served as the 39th president and the 76th governor of Georgia, has significantly reduced his public appearances. He was last seen at his wife Rosalynn's funeral in November, where he used a wheelchair. A tribute concert titled "Jimmy Carter 100: A Celebration in Song" was held last month in Atlanta, featuring various artists. President Joe Biden also honored Carter with a video tribute, recognizing his public service and humanitarian efforts.
