Presidents of the United States: A List

Here, in classic chronological order, is a list of those who have held the office of President of the United States of America.

Yes, Grover Cleveland is listed twice. He served two non-consecutive terms, and so is both the 22nd and 24th president. That's why, though 43 men have been president, Barack Obama is considered the 44th president.
