Yet James Earl Carter Jr., who died today at his home in Plains, Georgia, surely has a fair claim to being the most effective former president his country ever had. In part that's because his post-presidency was the lengthiest on record—more than four decades—and his life span of 100 richly crowded years was the longest of any president,

The article from MSN discusses how Jimmy Carter, despite being a one-term president, has been widely regarded as America's most effective former president due to his extensive post-presidential humanitarian work. After leaving office in 1981, Carter dedicated himself to various causes through the Carter Center, which he co-founded with his wife Rosalynn. His efforts have focused on promoting peace, democracy, human rights, and health worldwide. Key achievements include monitoring elections, eradicating diseases like Guinea worm, and building homes with Habitat for Humanity. His commitment to service was recognized with the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. The article highlights how Carter's post-presidential activities have arguably had a more profound and lasting impact than his time in the White House, emphasizing his humility, dedication, and the moral authority he has wielded in his later years.
