43 or 44 Americans have taken the oath of President?


President Barack Obama said yesterday that it’s 44.

The White House website says that “43 men have served as President of the United States.”  They count Grover Cleveland’s two, non-consecutive terms as #22 and #24.

I say that only 43 different, sentient American individuals  have taken the oath of President because Grover Cleveland is only one person.

What do you think?

    AH – ok – I see what I wasn’t seeing before – that White House list has Obama listed as 44 – and removing Cleveland from one of the terms, you get 43.

    I feel much better now.

    So Jon Favreau WAS wrong. :) Or someone was.

    Glad we settled that.

    Thank you for your help, Harold – that was a very useful chart.
