The President Who Counts Twice

Forty-three people have served as president. But the United States has had forty-four presidents. How can that be? Grover S. Cleveland was elected the twenty-second president in 1884. Four years later, he lost the election to Benjamin Harrison, who became the twenty-third president. (Remember, that was the election in which Cleveland won more popular votes, but lost the electoral vote.) Then, in 1892, Cleveland ran against Harrison again and beat him, becoming the twenty-fourth president. So Cleveland counts as one person, but as two presidents.
