Or '45'.
I never could get my head around the idea that Trump was the 45th president. There were only 43 before him. But as Cleveland had two non-consecutive terms he gets counted twice.
Biden has just been sworn in for the 46th presidency. But surely he is only the 45th president.

There again US spelling is different, why not counting as well?
