We have a pretty good crop of living Presidents right now. In 2001-2004, there were six, and there were a couple of other groups of six in our history, some fives, and on and on. There have been six Presidents who, while they were in office (or during their terms) were the sole living President (George Washington (1789–97), John Adams (1799–1801), Ulysses S. Grant (1875–77), Theodore Roosevelt (1908–09), Herbert Hoover (1933), and Richard Nixon (1973–74).
