Trick question.
There were 42 occupants of the presidency. While George Bush is the 43rd President, America has only had 42 men as President because Grover Cleveland was elected to two non-consecutive terms. Thus, there have been 43 presidencies, but only 42 men who have ever served as Presidents.

There have been 43 presidents in the history of the U.S., but only 42 men have actually held the presidency. President Grover Cleveland is the only president to have served 2 non-consecutive terms. He was 22nd president from 1885-1889 and 24th president from 1893-1897.
