Living Presidents of the United States

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is the list of all of the living people who have served as President of the United States at each moment in US history. Due to the line of succession outlined in Article 2, Section 1, Clause 6 (1789), Amendment 20, Section 3 (1933) and Amendment 25, Section 1 (1967), there has never been a point where there is no acting United States President, meaning that from the point of death or resignation of one United States President, the powers of the office are immediately passed to his successor under US law.
