All told, America has had 43 individual Presidents (Grover Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms). The shortest reign was that of William Harrison at about a month.

The longest reign was Franklin Roosevelt's as he was elected for four terms, though he died in office before the end of his fourth term.

This office should not be confused with President of the United States in Congress Assembled who are often confused with Presidents of the Continental Congress. The United States in Congress Assembled (USCA) was the unicameral government formed by the Articles of Confederation, a US Constitution, that enacted on March 1, 1781. This governing body replaced US Continental Congress (July 2, 1776 to February 28, 1781) which evolved from the United Colonies Continental Congress (September 5, 1774 to July 1, 1776).

The office of Continental Congress President was a much more powerful office than President of the United States in Congress Assembled (USCA). Continental Congress Presidents presided over a governmental body that could enact binding legislation on 13 States with only a seven state quorum rather than the nine state quorum required by the Articles of Confederation's USCA government. Continental Congress Presidents were often part of delegations that numbered one, giving them 1/7th of "crucial" votes in the unicameral government, as opposed to two or more delegate necessary to cast the one state vote in a nine state quorum that was required by the Articles of Confederation.

On May 4, 1781 the USCA passed "Rules for conducting business in the United States in Congress assembled" that stripped the President of his power to control the congressional agenda which, was a tactic that the presiding officers (especially Henry Laurens) wielded expertly as President of the Continental Congress. The United States in Congress Assembled rules even went so far as to eliminate the President's prerogative to continue the debate before a motion that was brought to the floor was seconded. There are numerous other examples on the differences of the two offices ranging from the USCA's Committee of the States experiment to govern by a "Board of Directors" without the President at its head to Hanson's success in championing a USCA resolution that moved the bulk of Presidential correspondence duties to USCA Secretary Charles Thomson. Moreover, the USCA Office of Foreign Secretary, under Robert R. Livingston and John Jay, took over much of the Presidential duties of entertaining foreign diplomats and dignitaries after 1781.

Peyton Randolph - September 5, 1774 to October 22, 1774

Henry Middleton - October 22, 1774 to October 26, 1774

John Jay - December 10, 1778 to September 28, 1779

Samuel Huntington - September 29, 1779 to February 28, 1781

The Presidents of the United States in Congress Assembled were:

Samuel Huntington - March 1, 1781 to July 6, 1781

Samuel Johnston - elected July 9, 1781 but decline the office on July 10th

Thomas McKean - July 10, 1781 to November 4, 1781

John Hanson - November 5, 1781 to November 3, 1782
