Barack Obama is Actually the 43rd President
My brother brought this little-known fact to my attention today. Despite what he said in his speech, Barack Obama is technically the 43rd person to take the oath of the office of the President, not the 44th. Grover Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms, and is historically counted as both the 22nd and 24th Presidents, even though he was only one dude. I say this should end now. While his is the 44th Presidency as far as power transitioning from person to person, Barack Obama is the 43rd President of the United States of America. That’s man-law. Live it.

Funny fact about Grover Cleveland. He didn’t carry the state of Ohio in either of the elections he won.
