Members of Congress, the Supreme Court and other dignitaries paid their respects to the late President Jimmy Carter during a ceremony at the U.S. Capitol Tuesday afternoon.
Carter, who died Dec. 29 at age 100, was transported to the Capitol by a horse-drawn cassion after arriving from Atlanta.
“We thank you for his passion for integrity, his commitment to leave the world better than he found it,” said Senate Chaplain Barry Black at the opening of the ceremony.
Vice President Harris, Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson delivered eulogies that emphasized Carter’s values of service and citizenship.
