Corrected entry: When the tour guide is leading the group through the White House, she says that 42 presidents have occupied it. However, when Vice President Nance is sworn-in, the newscaster in the background says he is becoming the 45th US president.

Correction: George Washington never lived in the White House--it was first occupied in 1800 by John Adams. Grover Cleveland was president twice in non-consecutive terms, counting as both the 22nd and 24th President. So the tour guide's statement is accurate because even though there had been 44 presidencies, only 42 men had actually resided in the White House as president.
