I thought Bush Sr, was 41? That aside, is it because Monica held the president's post?

No, not the answer. BTW, Turtle is right, Bush Senior was the 41st president but this shouldn't change the answer to the riddle. Chalk another one up for the Turtle, wise man that he is......

Because Stephen Grover Cleveland served 2 non-consecutive terms, so is both the 22nd and 24th POTUS.
