Bill Clinton has joined the 80s club after he celebrated his birthday on Wednesday, August 19, 2026.
The buzzing birthday bash has made Clinton enter the 80s club, leaving behind Barack Obama the only youngest former president living under 80.
Clinton has joined Joe Biden, Donald Trump, George W. Bush as living U.S. presidents who have turned 80.
Former President Obama, who turned 65 just last month, makes him the youngest living former U.S. president.
The latest feat highlights how America’s 80s club list is increasingly expanding.
With Biden, who is set to celebrate his 84th in November, Trump and Bush have already joined the ranks of octogenarian presidents.
Clinton held office of the President of the United States (POTUS) from 1993 to 2001, at a critical juncture in U.S. history.
Ever since he left office, Clinton never faded out from the public spotlight.
Clinton’s second term was hit by the Lewinsky scandal and impeached by Congress.
Clinton remained in office as he was acquitted because the Senate didn’t reach two-thirds majority required to convict.
The 42nd commander in chief, became the only third youngest president when he entered the White House in 1993, the coveted seat of world politics.
It’s been 25 years since Clinton lived at the White House, yet he never dwindled from public life.
He penned two memoirs, two advice books and three works of thriller fiction co-written with James Patterson.
Not just that in 25 years, but also he went on to inaugurate a presidential library; underwent heart bypass surgery; clinched two Grammys and a Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Clinton stood by his wife, Hillary, through thick and thin, vouching for her two presidential campaigns.
