When counting the number of inaugurations, two-term presidents are indeed counted twice (or three times, in Franklin D. Roosevelt’s case), since the president is sworn in for each term that they serve. The number does not include presidents who were not officially elected and who were sworn in without an official inauguration ceremony, such as Lyndon B. Johnson, who was sworn in after the death of John F. Kennedy in 1963. However, when Lyndon B. Johnson was actually elected president in 1964, he did have an official inauguration ceremony, which is counted. Therefore, LBJ served as president twice, but only had one inauguration ceremony.

Additionally, when counting the number of presidents, two-term presidents are not counted twice. (However, if the president served two terms that were not consecutive, then that person is counted twice. This is the case with Grover Cleveland, who served as the 22nd and 24th president.) This is why the number of inauguration ceremonies exceeds the number of presidents!
