- Presidents are numbered according to uninterrupted periods served by the same person. For example, Jean-Maurice Dehousse was both the 1st president and the 3rd president because his two terms were not consecutive. A vice president who temporarily becomes acting president, like André Antoine, is not counted, because the president remains in office during such a period.
