Beginning with George Washington, who took the oath of office for the first time in 1789, a total of 45 men have held the title of president of the United States of America.

Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the founding of mises.org in 1995. Since then, mises.org has become an enormous website that publishes new articles, podcasts, and other multimedia content six times per week.
