    F.W. De Klerk

    Absolutely- if he makes it that far. Average survival rate for mesothelioma is around ten months, which would take him to January 2022.

    1. Jimmy Carter

    The answer is no. Martin Van Buren (d. 1862) lived to see 8 presidents succeed him: - William Henry Harrison (Mar. 1841) - John Tyler (Apr. 1841) - James K. Polk (1845) - Zachary Taylor (1849) - Millard Fillmore (1850) - Franklin Pierce (1853) - James Buchanan (1857) - Abraham Lincoln (1861)
