I can point to 44, all of whom had the title "President of the United States of America." That's one of the fundamental reasons separation of powers was built into the constitution. The assumption was (correctly) that all people are corrupt and will abuse their power if left unchecked by other self-interested people who have equal power and opposing agendas. So in addition to those 44, there are all the people who have had the titles "Representative," "Senator," and "Justice." Not a popular view today, I realize.
