Let’s imagine that Franklin D. Roosevelt had possessed the same gift for longevity as Jimmy Carter and lived until he was 100. He would have died in1982, in Ronald Reagan’s second year in office.

A state funeral for the 39th president brought together all five living presidents and will include a eulogy from President Biden. Eulogies written by Gerald Ford and Walter Mondale will be delivered by their sons.

President Joe Biden was in his first term as senator for Delaware in 1977 at the time Carter was in office. Biden will be at Carter’s funeral Thursday morning to give a eulogy to the late 39th president.
