History is tough.
There have been a whopping 44 presidents in American history and many of them have been forgettable (looking at you Grover Cleveland). So it's pretty obvious why some people are confused about our elected officials.

To help you keep track of who was and was not a president, we've created a handy list of legends thought to have been POTUS.
