How many Presidents have been elected from the senate?

Answer 1

There have been 38 people elected to be President, which is to say all but five. Four of these five (John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson and Chester A. Arthur ) were elected as vice-president and were president only because the President died in office. The fifth, Gerald Ford, was appointed vice president and became President because Nixon resigned. (Four others, T. Roosevelt, Coolidge,Truman, and L. Johnson first became president because of the president's death, but were later elected to a second term on their own. )

Answer 3

Obama (the current president) is the 44th president.

However, note that Gerald Ford was never elected to be president.

Further the 22nd and 24th US president were the same person.

So far to date (June 2012), a total of 38 different people have been elected President of the United States.

Another five people were U. S. President but never won a Presidential Election.

Answer 4

Sixteen US Senators have also served as the President of the United States. James Monroe was the first and Barack Obama is the most recent.

Seventeen US Presidents were former State Governors.

Fourteen US Presidents were former Vice Presidents.

Answer 5

We have had forty-four presidencies. However, only thirty-eight people have been elected to the office of president. John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson and Chester A. Arthur were vice presidents who became presidents after the death of their predecessors but were never elected as president themselves. Grover Cleveland was elected twice on non-consecutive occasions, and thus is counted twice in the list of presidencies. Gerald Ford became president after the resignation of Richard Nixon but was never elected as president.
