She said it would be better to use something like "45" without adding his name instead, to indicate he is the 45th person to have been sworn in to sit in the big chair in the Oval Office.

While I may disagree with much that she says, I can't disagree with that. After all, I call him Drumpf. And ignore the title for the position he was handed by Putin, Manafort, and Bannon.

Grover Cleveland gets counted twice due to his non-consecutive terms.

I know, it's weird.

No idea why historians count his as two seperate administrations but apparently that's what they've decided on.
