Bush is the 43rd pres...
Thanks for all the comments!
There's a big mistake. President George W. Bush is the 43rd president, and his father, the other President Bush, was the 41st president. Thus, there have been 42 men who have served as president.
That was quick, it only took a day for the correction I submitted to be posted.
What about David Rice Atchison who servied as president for only one day and sleep through most of it?
I knew that, I just didn't remember...
thanks for correcting...

Really cool!!!!!!!!!!!

Just for curiousity's sake, George W is referred to as "43" by White House staffers, while his dad is still referred to as "Ppresident Bush" more often than "41". Hmmmm.
I enjoyed this one! Good teaser.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got it very quickly.
