Just a friendly reminder, we all signed the honor code and should be courteous. Language like "serious ?" and "I am not American and I know" implies scorn that someone (you don't specify who) made a stupid mistake somewhere (you don't specify where).

It's probably better to initially assume, if something doesn't make sense, that you have misunderstood something. For instance in this case it turns out, all the presidents are accounted for, you just didn't understand how connections are counted (see below).

If in fact you had found there was a real mistake, that's great. We should all be happy to jump in together, as fellow volunteers, and fix it.

45 men in 46 presidencies.  Grover Cleveland is counted as both the 22nd and 24th president of the United States. See also Sequential list of US Presidents

This would make 45 This is still a list of 44 president you sent this morning

Which one is not there ?

Just an FYI, on that Sequential list of US Presidents Space page there's an error on Bush 43. He is not a "junior." His father was George Herbert Walker Bush, and his name is George Walker Bush, no Herbert. He got the moniker "George Junior" when he served for 18 months as an adviser to his father's campaign simply as a quick way to distinguish the two. But beginning with his own run for Governor of Texas he would not infrequently correct people with a friendly but clear, "Don't call me 'junior'."

Fixed, thanks

Are you talking about the list that you can get to from the WT News? That comes up with a page titled My Connections: US Presidents.

If that is the list you are seeing then there is an explanation. What it means that you only see 44 of the president because they are within 1,000,000 of your closest relatives. The 45th president is further away. Doing my connections personally I only get 40 presidents.

 All 45 are in the category [[Category:US Presidents]] which is where the list of your connections is being generated from.

And to find the 45th president missing from your "My Connections" page you would have to do some analyse to see who is missing.

To answer the question that was written in WT News..."Which president is your closest cousin". It would have to be Thomas Jefferson, Ancestry.com have him as my 5th cousin 8 times removed. Wikitree have him as my 8th cousin 6 times removed.

I'm also related to 31 of the 45 US Presidents.
