Is Trump also counted twice as 45th and 47th president?

@ThomasMach yes, same as grover Cleveland

@Tripping Okay, so it's about the next one? Does Vance count if he assumes presidency after passing, retirement or impeachment of Trump?

@ThomasMach same as Coolidge, ford, etc, the numbering rules are standardized

how does this resolve if there is no 48th potus?

@jim this won't resolve until there is a 48th potus

@Tripping gonna be open a very long time

@jim plenty of questions on manifold are likely to outlive manifold

@Tripping in very deed

Would Bernie have counted had he won in 2016?

@BrunoParga yes, assuming he was a member of the party at the time of inauguration

@Tripping thank you. I truly don't know - do you know if he was a member of the party at the time of the Presidential primary?

@BrunoParga he filed with the FEC as a democrat, which is good enough for me

e.g. 2020 filing https://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/558/201902199145527558/201902199145527558.pdf
