User:Canuckian89/Swiss Presidents
This is a list of the Presidents of the Swiss Confederation in order of longevity. There are currently eighty-nine Presidents on the list and eighteen living Presidents. The list is in descending order and is correct as of 23 August 2024. The oldest president is Hans Schaffner (1908 - 2004), who died at the age of 95 years, 346 days. The oldest living president is Alphons Egli. He is currently 99 years, 320 days old and has held the title of oldest living president of Switzerland since July 23, 2008.
To account for the different number of leap days within the life of each president, two measures of longevity are given. The first is the number of whole years the president lived, and the number of days past their last birthday. The second lists the total number of days lived by the president, accounting for differing numbers of leap years within the lifespans of different presidents.
