Other than Barack Obama, only four living people know firsthand the rigors of the presidency — and three of them have refused to RSVP to Donald Trump’s inauguration.
The peaceful transfer of power between presidents is one of the most profound and important aspects of American democracy. At the outset of our nation’s history, it was what set us apart from the monarchies of Europe. While other nations have since adopted America’s democratic system, ours remains the gold standard by which all others are judged. No other country has so successfully respected the tradition of free and fair elections and the personal willingness to give up power.
Which makes it all the more disappointing that Jimmy Carter is the only former president willing to commit to Trump’s inauguration. George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush have all received invites but have so far not commented on whether they will attend.

Traitors all
One of these days they will come calling?
Research George Herbert Walker Bush senior. the day JFK was killed 39 year old CIA man was found near the book suppository. This man appeared to be very nervous. The FBI and CIA question him and were told by higher powers 2 release him. The man moved up very fast the chains of government. President Reagan did not choose him but was told he was to be the vice president. Then he became the 41st president. He was in Dallas on that day he was in the right place to do the job. And he owns a weapon identical to the one used. He still lives in Texas and still has that weapon. Don’t believe me look it up that’s how I found it. Isn’t history fun
It’s their DUTY to attend!!!The Bush dynasty attended Obama’s so they damn well better attend President Trump’s #
Men Of Honor! Lol!!!
What a disgrace, like all of these men are completely innocent of some wrong doing while in office. You don’t have to dig deep on a few of the past Presidents.
Never liked the Bushes, nor the Kennedys nor the Clintons mainly because I do not believe there is a place in America for these self made royalties…Thank you for the information Duane!
He is a true Southern gentleman.

A bunch of low class hypocrites! They all should be ashamed! Trump is better off without them.
