  1. ^ Presidents are numbered according to uninterrupted periods served by the same person. For example, George Washington served two consecutive terms and is counted as the first president (not the first and second). Upon the resignation of 37th president, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford became the 38th president even though he simply served out the remainder of Nixon's second term and was never elected to the presidency in his own right. Grover Cleveland was both the 22nd president and the 24th president because his two terms were not consecutive. A vice president who temporarily becomes acting president under the Twenty-fifth Amendment to the Constitution is not counted, because the president remains in office during such a period.
  2. ^ Reflects the president's political party at the start of their presidency. Changes during their time in office are noted. Also reflects the vice president's political party unless otherwise noted beside the individual's name.
  3. ^ Political parties had not been anticipated when the Constitution was drafted, nor did they exist at the time of the first presidential election in 1788–89. When they did develop, during Washington's first term, Adams joined the faction that became the Federalist Party. The elections of 1792 were the first ones in the United States that were contested on anything resembling a partisan basis.[4]
  4. ^ The 1796 presidential election was the first contested American presidential election and the only one in which a president and vice president were elected from opposing political parties. Federalist John Adams was elected president, and Jefferson of the Democratic-Republicans was elected vice president.[5]
  5. ^ a b c d e f g Died in office[6]
  6. ^ a b Resigned from office[6]
  7. ^ Millard Fillmore succeeded to the presidency upon the death of Zachary Taylor.[7]
  8. ^ Andrew Johnson succeeded to the presidency upon the death of Abraham Lincoln.[8]
  9. ^ Chester A. Arthur succeeded to the presidency upon the death of James A. Garfield.[9]
  10. ^ Gerald Ford succeeded to the presidency upon the resignation of Richard Nixon.[10]
