Can you help me translate this Vietnamese sentence into English: "Ông ta là tổng thống lần thứ mấy của Hoa Kì ?". Thanks all

[linhtcnz]

What number president is Washington?
I'm not sure but this kind of question gained a number of hits when using Google, so I believe it's a true structure.

[AndyMai]

^ wtf?

how many times had/have he been elected as the president of the US?

or

what number is he in the list of US presidents?

they have different meanings

[Lepnitz]

The question confuses us all.
I think it should be: "Ong ta la tong thong thu bao nhieu cua Hoa Ky?" or "Ong ta duoc bau lam tong thong may lan?"
Andy Mai provides right translation, I guess.

I think the correct question is
"which number in America's president list is he?"

[Wise Blue]

No no no,you're all wrong,the correct question should be


"who the hell is Washington"

the one who answer it should answer which place in the list of president he is

The second answer has near meaning with my sentence.
Another similar example:
"Anh ta về đích thứ mấy?" ( trong 1 cuộc đua)
I think we can't use key words "number" and "list" in this case.
So help me translate into English, please
