Emeritus?
The elder Bush and Carter are probably too old to have much of a future in the role of President Emeritus.
Clinton is in bad health.
The younger Bush is practically a recluse for having lied to get America into the Second Gulf War -- there are many places in which he could be arrested for war crimes.
It might not be long before the only President Emeritus relevant to American politics of foreign policy is Obama... and in view of the demonization that the Republican party has of him, he is unlikely to have much of a role in political life until Donald trump is gone.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
