User:HarlandQPitt/Living Supreme Court Justices of the United States

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article shows the living Supreme Court Justices of the United States from the confirmation of the first Supreme Court Justices in 1789 until the present. The following table includes all 114 persons who have taken the judicial oath. (Persons who died before taking the oath or refused nomination are not included.) This list reflects the court's composition at any given point in history by separating active justices from those who left the bench. Currently, in addition to the active Supreme Court of the United States, there are three living former justices: Sandra Day O'Connor, Anthony Kennedy, and David Souter.

Most and fewest living presidents[edit]

There have been four time periods with six living presidents (i.e., the incumbent and five former presidents):[4][5][6]

There have been six time periods when the incumbent president was the only living president, having no living predecessors:[7]

Notably, Richard Nixon is the only person to have been both the only living U.S. president (from January 1973 to August 1974) and one of six living presidents (from January 1993 to April 1994).

Living presidents gallery[edit]

There have been several gatherings of all the living presidents. Below are photographs of groups of persons who, at one time or another, comprised all living presidents, although several of these photographs were taken prior to or after the time period in which the persons depicted were the only living presidents, and in some photos one of the presidents depicted had not yet formally taken office.
