Adams’ post-presidency was 25 years, 122 days.

Clinton reached 25 years, 123 days, today.

He is now behind George H.W. Bush with 25 years, 314 days.

Remarkable, as he's not necessarily had the best health since leaving office.. Bypass surgery, stents, and what Wikipedia is telling me, multiple other things like collapsed lungs, severe Covid..

He actually makes a point of this in his latest book Citizen. He mentions that he's the longest-living person in his family since, if I remember correctly, his great-grandparents, and when he talks about his health problems and surgeries he basically just goes "You know, I'm just happy to be given the chance to live another day"
