Former President Jimmy Carter is no longer just the oldest living U.S. president, but now the longest-living in the nations history, as well.

The 94-year-old overtook former President George H.W. Bush s title by one day on Friday. Carter, the 39th president who was in the White House from 1977 to 1981, has now lived 94 years and 172 days.

Bush, the 41st president who was in the White House from 1989 to 1993, died on Nov. 30 after living 94 years and 171 days. Bush set the longest-living record in November 2017 when he surpassed former President Gerald Ford, who lived 93 years and 165 days before his death in 2006.
