About this quiz
The ten people who became president from 1789 to 1841, in the order each first took office. A president who served twice is placed by the first time.
- George Washington took office on April 30, 1789.
- John Tyler took office on April 6, 1841.
- Marking follows the longest run of entries that are in the right order, so one slip does not sink the rest.

Note on the data. Presidencies, vice presidents and dates of service follow the House of Representatives' table of presidents, vice presidents and coinciding sessions of Congress, read on 3 October 2026. People are counted once, in order of first taking office, so this is the list of 45 people rather than the 47 numbered presidencies. Names and accepted short forms are those of Ribbia's us-presidents quiz.
