There were 43 presidents AFAIK (or the 43rd is serving). Of those only 17 have served in the oval office. But I may be misunderstanding the riddle completely.

Yea, this riddle is becoming a bit confusing so I'll give the answer so we can move on:

Grover Cleveland held office during 2 nonconsecutive terms. He was our 22nd and 24th president. Therefore as of today, 43 presidents, but only 42 men have held the office.
