43, Not 44, Have Taken Oath of Office

President Obama said: “Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath.”

Actually, I think it’s 43, since Grover Cleveland’s non-consecutive terms resulted in him being counted as Presidents 22 and 24.

Other than that: An excellent speech, as always. I further suspect the error in presidential counting will be forgiven and these will be the words most cited and studied generations from now.
