Is Donald Trump the 40th president? If not, what is the correct number?

I asked an AI chatbot the above questions, and I got an answer. However, how can I get the answer without mentioning a number such as “40th” in a question?

Which president is Trump?
What number president is Trump?

What is the president number of Donald Trump?

No, you can't switch the word order of 'number' and 'president'.

Since his terms weren't consecutive, he's both the 45th and 47th president.

There is no English term to use to ask what position something is in in an ordered list.

How about:

What ordinal numerals should I use to describle the two presidential terms served by Donald Trump?

 

[teechar]

I agree with @SoothingDave , but I also think the second sentence suggested by @Skrej is useful.

 

[Matthew Wai]

No, you can't switch the word order of 'number' and 'president'.

I found the term "PRESIDENT NUMBER" in the above article.
So, does a president number actually exist in the presidential system?

 

[teechar]

No, it (number) is not specific to "president". It's just outlining the number of a particular item/entity.
For example:

House number 43 is for sale.
Van number 6 is stuck in traffic.
Here, it's just a category heading.
