Number of presidents

The article states there are 45 persons who served in office. When you source edit it says to NOT change it. Joe Biden is the 46th and current president, so it should be changed. Super yoshi013021 (talk) 14:48, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Super yoshi013021: Grover Cleveland was both the 22nd and 24th president. So Biden, while the 46th president, is the 45th person to serve as president. No change is needed.Drdpw (talk) 15:19, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Drdpw, thanks for the info. Super yoshi013021 (talk) 19:48, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. @Drdpw, we may need to change it if Biden is no longer president to 46 then. Super yoshi013021 (talk) 19:51, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
