Under the [[United States Constitution]], the [[President of the United States]] is the [[head of state]] and [[head of government]] of the [[United States of America]]. As chief of the executive branch and head of the [[Federal government of the United States|federal government]] as a whole, the presidency is the highest political office in the United States by influence and recognition. The president is also the [[Commander-in-Chief]] of the [[United States Armed Forces]]. The president is [[Indirect election|indirectly elected]] to a four-year [[Term of office|term]] by an [[Electoral College (United States)|Electoral College]] (or by the [[United States House of Representatives|House of Representatives]] should the Electoral College fail to award an absolute majority of votes to any person). Since the ratification of the [[Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution]] in 1951, no person may be elected to the office of the president more than twice. Furthermore, no person who served more than two years of a term - to which someone else was elected - may be elected more than once.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_amendments_11-27.html|title=The Constitution: Amendments 11–27|publisher=[[National Archives and Records Administration|U.S. National Archives & Records Administration]]|accessdate=October 1, 2008}}</ref> Upon the death, resignation, or removal from office of an incumbent president, the [[Vice President of the United States|Vice President]] assumes the office.

==About the list==
This list includes only those persons who were sworn into office as president following the ratification of the [[United States Constitution]], which took effect on March 4, 1789. For American leaders before this ratification, see [[President of the Continental Congress]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.harrold.org/rfhextra/PresidentsForgotten.html |title=Excerpts from "Forgotten Presidents" - The Patriots Handbook, by George Grant |publisher=Harrold.org |date= |accessdate=2011-08-08}}</ref> The list does not include any [[Acting President of the United States|Acting Presidents]] under the [[Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution]].

There have been forty-three people sworn into office, and forty-four presidencies, as [[Grover Cleveland]] served two non-consecutive terms and is counted chronologically as both the twenty-second and twenty-fourth president. Of the individuals elected as president, four died in office of natural causes ([[William Henry Harrison]]<ref>{{harvnb|Cleaves|1939|p=152}}</ref>, [[Zachary Taylor]].<ref name="Zachary Taylor, Virginia Univ">{{cite web |url=http://millercenter.org/academic/americanpresident/taylor/essays/biography/6 |title=INGERSOLL, Jared, (1749–1822) |publisher=University of Virginia's Miller Center of Public Affairs |<span style="font-size:8pt">''|accessdate=2 November 2010''}} </span></font></ref>, [[Warren G.

{{Reflist
| group="n"
| colwidth=30em
| refs =

<ref group="n" name="num">
A presidency is defined as consecutive time in office served by a single person. For example, [[George Washington]] served two consecutive terms and is counted as the first president (not the first and second). [[Gerald Ford]] assumed the presidency after the resignation of [[Richard Nixon]], serving out the remainder of what would have been Nixon's second term. The fact that Ford was not voted into office does not affect the numbering, which makes him the 38th president. In addition, under this numbering, [[Grover Cleveland]] is counted as having two separate presidencies, having served two non-consecutive terms.
</ref>

<ref group="n" name="died">
Died in office of natural causes.
</ref>

<ref group="n" name="25th Amend">
Prior to ratification of the [[Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution]] in 1967, there was no provision for filling a vacancy in the Vice Presidency. Richard Nixon was the first president to fill such a vacancy under the provisions of the Twenty-fifth Amendment when he appointed Gerald Ford. Ford later became the second president to fill a vice presidential vacancy when he appointed Nelson Rockefeller to succeed him.
</ref>

<ref group="n" name="resigned">
Resigned.
</ref>

<ref group="n" name="John_Tyler">
Being the first vice president to assume the presidency, Tyler set a precedent that a vice president who assumes the office of president becomes a fully functioning president who has his own presidency, as opposed to just a caretaker president. His political opponents attempted to refer to him as "Acting President", but he refused to allow that. The [[Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution]] put Tyler's precedent into the Constitution.
</ref>

<ref group="n" name="John_Tyler-party">
Former Democrat who ran for Vice President on Whig ticket. Clashed with Whig congressional leaders and was expelled from the Whig party in 1841.
</ref>

<ref group="n" name="assassinated">
Assassinated.
</ref>

<ref group="n" name="union">
[[Abraham Lincoln]] and [[Andrew Johnson]] were, respectively, a Republican and a Democrat who ran on the National Union ticket in 1864.
</ref>

<ref group="n" name="Andrew_Johnson-party">
Andrew Johnson did not identify with the two main parties while president and tried and failed to build a party of loyalists under the National Union label. His failure to build a true National Union Party left Johnson without a party.
</ref>

<ref group="n" name="John_Nance_Garner-term">
This term was shortened by 43 days due to the [[Twentieth Amendment to the United States Constitution]] going into effect, moving [[United States presidential inauguration|inauguration day]] from March 4 to January 20.
</ref>

<ref group="n" name="Dwight_Eisenhower-term">
Dwight Eisenhower is the first president to have been legally prohibited by the [[Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution]] from seeking a third term.
