"Bush 41 becomes longest-living president in U.S. history"
Former President George H.W. Bush is now the longest-living president in U.S. history at the age of 93 years and 166 days. Bush on Saturday surpassed the previous record held by Gerald Ford, who lived to be 93 years and 165 days old before he died in December 2006. Jimmy Carter, the second-oldest living president, is 111 days behind Bush and 165 days behind Ronald Reagan, who currently holds the third spot for longest-living president at 93 years and 120 days. The milestone was pointed out on Twitter by Gabe Fleisher, author of the "Wake up to Politics" newsletter. Bush has faced several health scares in recent months, including two hospitalizations for chronic pneumonia and one for bronchitis. Last month, he joined the nation's four other living former presidents for a hurricane relief concert in Texas after parts of the state were devastated by Hurricane Harvey. During the ceremony, he was honored by his son, former President George W. Bush. Bush was elected to the nation's highest office in 1989 after spending two terms as vice president under Reagan. He was defeated in the 1993 presidential election by Bill Clinton.
