USA ~ All Presidents ~

... Great postcard showing all 45 US presidents... from George-Washington to the latest one Donald Trump who is probably one of the most controversial presidents ever... a nice detail, the postcard was bought at the Trump Tower... if anyone counts them (like I did) will notice that there only 44 showing... to solve this mystery, I found out that one president served two non-consecutive terms in office... can you find him?? ʘ‿ʘ... with small matching stamp of the first US president... Thanks a lot Denise!! (✿ ♥‿♥)

From backside postcard:
"Under the U.S. Constitution, the President of the United States is the head of state and the head of government of the United States. As chief of the executive branch and head of the federal government as a whole, the presidency is the highest political office in the United States by influence and recognition."

The youngest president was John F. Kennedy at age 43. The oldest was Ronald Reagan at age 69. The longest-serving president was Franklin D. Roosevelt, who died shortly into his fourth term in office. (The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, limited to two the number of presidential terms one person could serve.) The shortest serving president was William Henry Harrison, who died from pneumonia after a month in office. Stephen Grover Cleveland was the only president in American history to serve two non-consecutive terms in office, he was the 22nd and 24th President.
