Ok, Thanks. Now can you tell me how many man become US president? Who was the first president and when was the first election in the history of America.

Say:
- How many men have become U.S. President?
(Grover Cleveland was president twice--two nonconsecutive terms.)

Yes, but good old Grover was counted twice, making George W. Bush the 43rd President. Originally Posted by Susie Smith Right! So that would make George W. Bush the 42nd man to have become President. Originally Posted by RonBee

Teacher You live and learn. Was Grover famous for anything other than being elected twice? He seems to have slipped through my historical net.

Teacher Cleveland was reformer. As such, he made more enemies than friends. He was not known for much that was important outside the US. He did get involved with some border dispute between Britain and Venezuela, but I don't know much about that. Originally Posted by tdol You live and learn.

Teacher I didn't either. I assume it had something to do with one of your possessions. :wink: Originally Posted by tdol I didn't realise we had a border with Venezuela.
