He lived just long enough to see another US president became known as the worst US president ever. Carters polices dragged the US through some of the worst recessions. His foreign policies was problematic, as was his relationship with congress. During his failed run for his second term, he unsuccessfully tried to use US law to prohibit Reagan from accessing his campaign funds. While he himself was accused of using tax-payers money for his own campaign.
