Former President Jimmy Carter embodied a humble, everyman persona in stark contrast to the elaborate ceremonial traditions of the presidency that flourished after him.
After coming under criticism for diminishing the office’s stature, Mr. Carter allowed 'Hail to the Chief' to be played again, recognizing public sentiment for presidential majesty.
Unlike other former presidents who pursued lucrative speaking engagements and corporate gigs, Mr. Carter focused on writing, producing 32 books during his post-presidency years.
Even after losing his re-election bid, Mr. Carter returned to his modest ranch house in Plains, Georgia, showcasing his lifelong commitment to simplicity and humility.
