Because if a president serves two terms in a row, he (or soon, she) gets to keep the same number. So George W Bush was not 43 and 44, he was only 43.

However, the second four year term is inaugurated in the same was as the first.

It's because some presidents have been sworn in twice (or more) for additional terms.
