james_davis_nicollWhat's the average lifespan for Presidents, excluding those who died or were killed in office, as compared to the lifespans of their contemporaries? Do they live longer or does the stress of the job wear them down?
What's the fewest number of former Presidents that have been alive at a given time? If Ford [1] doesn't make it, that leaves us with, hrm, Clinton, Bush and Carter, right?
ObCanCon: Former PMs who could be said to be alive include Chretien, Campbell, Mulroney, Turner and quite possibly Paul Martin. At 76, Turner is the oldest former PM.
1: Rather interestingly for a man who once had his finger on the Button, according to Herman Kahn Ford was one of two people Kahn met in the 1960s who could not grasp the idea of a limited response in the context of nuclear weapons.
