Andy. The United States has had 52 Presidents, with 51 people holding the office. Let me explain this. We have the traditional 43 Presidents, plus 8 presidents that served under the Articles of Confederation before George Washington. In addition, we must also count David Rice Atchison, who was President of the United States for one day while Zachary Taylor was waiting to take the oath of office.
Some presidents served in the military during war time but saw no action, so it is unclear exactly how many presidents can really be considered war veterans. There are 24 presidents who are confirmed to have served in combat, and six presidents were in the military but saw no action. There are 12 US presidents who have no military experience at all. An example of a president who was in the military but saw no action was George W. Bush.
