Two presidents had two wives while in office due to death and remarriage:

John Tyler (10th president): wife Lelita Christian Tyler died in 1842 (he had 8 children with her) and he then married Julia Tyler in 1844 (and had 7 children with her). He was in office April 1841 to March 1845.

Woodrow Wilson (28th president): wife Ellen Louise Wilson died in 1914 (he had 3 daughters with her) and he married Edith Galt Wilson in 1915 (no children). He was in office from March 1913 to March 1921.

The numbering of the president and the first lady can be different because it is based on the order in which they served in their respective roles. Barack Obama was the 44th President of the United States, while his wife, Michelle Obama, was the 46th first lady because there were two women who held the title of first lady between the presidencies of Barack Obama and their husbands.

What is Obama's lucky number?

It is not the custom of any reliable fact-checking site, including WikiAnswers, to give a person's private information. Anyone's social security number should be kept private so that scammers and fraudsters don't use it for bad purposes. But if you are asking whether Obama's social security card is from Connecticut, that is an internet myth. And if you are asking whether he is foreign born, that too is a myth: he was born in Hawaii and has an American social security card, probably from whatever state he was living in when got his first job.
