With the new criteria, the Lead is a little inadequate now. Two paragraphs to define the scope and inclusion criteria, but nothing to actually say what the US president is. I don't mean his constitutional duties, but what it means to be President, what the position is, to provide even the basic context for the non-US reader. Lead needs to summarize the page, too. Currently there is nothing to say how many Presidents there have been, who was the first, and who is the current. Other information, such as how long a person is President for (usually a term of four years), who has held consecutive terms, who has held office more than once (separately), who has died while in office. etc. I don't propose a rehash of President of the United States, or what the president does, but an overview of the presidents themselves.
Two other minor things are that the table could do with being sortable if it's possible -- not sure if it is because of the colspans, and the period after the S in Harry S. Truman. According to Harry S. Truman#Truman's middle initial, it is not used by the Official White House biography, and Truman didn't care either way, but I'm not sure if that should even be discussed here.

I'm sure with a little attention this timely list could easily be saved. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 21:40, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
