U.S. presidents

As Barack Obama is sworn in as the 44th President of the United States, here’s a list of the 42 men who preceded him into office, with years served.

(And, yes, we at GetListy can add…at least most of the time. Why only 42 predecessors? Grover Cleveland was elected to two non-consecutive terms. As a result, Cleveland is both the 22nd and 24 president.)

Meanwhile, back to the list:
