It hadn't occurred to me before, but 41 and 43 are both prime numbers. These are the Presidents whose terms in office have corresponded to a prime number thus far and all of them since Rutherford Hayes have been Republican. Lincoln was the country's first Republican President, but his VP Andrew Johnson had been a Democrat, and would again later be elected to the Senate as a Democrat. The Republicans changed their name temporarily to the National Union Party in the 1864 election to accommodate Democrats who supported Lincoln. The next prime numbers for President are 47 and 53.

A prime number is a natural number with exactly two positive divisors: itself and 1.
(Note that with only one divisor, 1 is not a prime.)
