Experienced: Carter took several roles in the Government before he was president. He served two terms of being governor and one term of senator. He also established numorous treaties and created SALTS II.

Our thoughts on James E. Carter Jr.'s presidency were slightly negative due to the decisions he came across. On the other hand, he created some treaties with countries such as Panama and in the Middle East. He helped create the Department of Education in 1979 too. President Jimmy Carter had numerous foreign disputes, civil wars, and political transitions in recent years, including Panama, Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, North Korea, Haiti, and Bosnia. If Carter ran for president today. He wouldn't be successful due to his decisions for our government.
