US Presidents in Order
Every President of the United States, in order, from George Washington to Donald Trump — with the years each served.
There have been 47 presidencies but only 45 individuals have held the office. The difference is explained by two men who served non-consecutive terms and are therefore counted twice: Grover Cleveland (22nd and 24th) and Donald Trump (45th and 47th). Here is the complete list in order.

Did you know? Because Grover Cleveland and Donald Trump each served two non-consecutive terms, they are each counted as two separate presidencies — which is why the current president is the 47th, even though only 45 different people have ever held the role.
