List of presidents of the United States

This is a list of people who have served as President of the United States. As of 2025, there have been 45 men sworn into office and 47 presidencies; there have been more presidencies than people sworn into office because Grover Cleveland and Donald Trump won two nonconsecutive (not back-to-back) terms. Donald Trump is the 47th and current president; he also served as the 45th president.
