    Technically 42 since one guy got counted twice, but all 45 if you’re counting people baptised Christian

      I’m being pedantic, I know.

      But I think the term “consecutively” eliminates the need to count individual presidents that did not serve consecutive terms, as those who did are commonly regarded as one presidency.

      If we only had 3 christian presidents, and the first and last were the same guy, we still had three consecutive christian presidents.

      I don’t know. It’s a unique situation. But I don’t think saying “43 consecutive presidents” is necessarily wrong
