Numbers Don't Lie, But They May Mislead

After he took his slightly rearranged oath, our new President declared:
Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath.
Strangely enough, this is incorrect. That's because Grover Cleveland is counted as being BOTH the 22nd and 24th president.

So though Obama's known as "44"
there were only 42 persons before.
