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.
