Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, 95, Released from Hospital Post-Surgery

Former United States President Jimmy Carter, 95, has been released from the hospital. CNN reports this information, citing representatives from Emory University's Hospital in Georgia.

Two weeks ago, The Carter Center announced that the 95-year-old former president was hospitalized in Atlanta for surgery to reduce intracranial pressure, which had caused bleeding after he fell. Reports indicate that Carter had fallen at his home.

The 39th president of the United States, Jimmy Carter, was born on October 1, 1924, in Plains, Georgia. Carter, a Democrat, took office in January 1977. He lost the presidential election in November 1980 to Republican Ronald Reagan.
