[[Jimmy Carter]]'s tenure as the [[List of presidents of the United States|39th]] [[president of the United States]] began with [[Inauguration of Jimmy Carter|his inauguration]] on January 20, 1977, and ended on January 20, 1981. Carter, a [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]] from [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], took office following his narrow victory over [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] incumbent president [[Gerald Ford]] in the [[1976 United States presidential election|1976 presidential election]]. His presidency ended following his landslide defeat in the [[1980 United States presidential election|1980 presidential election]] to Republican [[Ronald Reagan]], after one term in office. AgedAt age {{age nts|1924|10|1}}, he is the oldest living, longest-lived and [[List of long marriages|longest-married]] president, and has the longest post-presidency. He is also the [[List of oldest living state leaders|fourth-oldest living former state leader]].

Carter took office during a period of "[[stagflation]]", as the economy experienced a combination of high [[inflation]] and slow economic growth. His budgetary policies centered on taming inflation by reducing deficits and government spending. Responding to energy concerns that had persisted through much of the 1970s, his administration enacted a national energy policy designed for long-term energy conservation and the development of alternative resources. In the short term the country was beset by an [[1979 energy crisis|energy crisis]] in 1979 which was overlapped by a [[Early 1980s recession in the United States|recession]] in 1980. Carter sought reforms to the country's welfare, health care, and tax systems, but was largely unsuccessful, partly due to poor relations with Democrats in [[96th United States Congress|Congress]].
