Barack Obama is the 44th president. But we did not have 44 men who were sworn into office-- we only had 43, because one of the presidents, Grover Cleveland, was sworn in two separate times. Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms. He was the 22nd and the 24th president. So, Barack Obama's presidency is the 44th in our history, but 43 men have been elected since our first president, George Washington, took office in 1789.
