Grover Cleveland was considered our 22nd and 24th president because he served two terms but not consecutively.. Why does he count twice but the two+ term presidents who served consecutivly are only counted once..
Wouldnt it still be counted as as seperate administraions?

Yes, but it makes more sense not to count them twice in a row, because the office did not change hands, and not a lot of things change when the President is re-elected, im not an expert on Cleveland, but im sure he changed policies and officials the second time around.

In the words of Grandpa Simpson,"I got spanked by Grover Cleveland on two, non-consecutive times!"

I would think so, it's 2 seperate adminstrations, which would be the main reason why it would count as 2. Even if it's the same adminstration so to speak, it's counted seperately, and considered a different thing all together.

He counts twice because he's the only president in our history who was booted out and came back from it. So he was the 22nd elected president, and the 24th elected president. It makes sense if you think about it.

Only 2 terms allowed, consecutive or not. It should be counted as is to avoid confusion.
