R.I.P. George Shultz

Is George Schultz the longest lived cabinet member ever?

That’s a good question. I’m pretty sure he is. If we’re counting Vice Presidents – most modern Vice Presidents are considered members of the Cabinet – then FDR’s first Vice President, John Nance Garner (who served from 1933-1941 and did attend President Roosevelt’s Cabinet meetings), holds the record as longest-living Cabinet member as of this moment. George Shultz is currently 98 years old and will turn 99 in December. Vice President Garner was two weeks short of his 99th birthday when he died in November 1967.

In addition to Shultz, there are actually quite a few former Cabinet members in their 90s who are still living in 2019, including two members of LBJ’s Cabinet who are still alive – former Attorney General Ramsey Clark (91 years old) and Alan S. Boyd, who was the first Secretary of Transportation in American history and is currently 96 years old.
