Best Answer

As of the beginning of 2012, 38 people have been elected President of the United States. Another 4 people were elected Vice-President and, upon the death of the President, assumed the Presidency, but were never elected President. One person, Gerald Ford, was nominated by President Nixon and confirmed by Congress to replace Vice-President Agnew after Agnew's resignation, then assumed the Presidency a few months later when President Nixon resigned. Ford was never elected President OR Vice-President.

Including Barack Obama, a total of 43 people have served as U.S. President. The reason why President Obama is referred to as the 44th President is that President Cleveland is counted twice due to his terms as President being non-consecutive.
