So, you're using a single data point for each year, rather than a running total (thus the reason why 2021 shows up as 4 on the chart, despite the fact that there are currently 5 living ex-presidents). Just curious to know if, in your research, you were able to determine whether there were ever 6 living at the same time?

Your comment made me realize that I could make the data points specific dates! Now you can see the number of presidents to the nearest date. Also, this is the original data table with some extra info if you're interested.

This is really cool. Strange how we've never managed more than 5 alive at any one time.
