As of today, he's tied with George H.W. Bush.
Just a factoid I felt was worth mentioning.

(23,147 posts)He didn't cash in like Reagan, and the Bushes, he's giving to others instead. He left his Baptist church because they were not standing up to hate, that takes major conviction when he was so involved with his church previously. He is the best man to ever be president, not the most effective, Obama and Clinton were more of that, but he has the best giving heart of any of them, ever!
Love you President Carter. I am so proud that you were the first person I voted for that actually became president.

Congratulations, Mr. President.
