Here is a list, ordered by descending frequency, of the official offices U.S. Presidents held prior to becoming U.S. President, along with the year in which the most-recent example began their Presidential term. As of this writing, there have been 44 U.S. Presidents, including Grover Cleveland who is on the list twice due to a gap between terms:

14 - U.S. Vice-President (1989)
10 - State Governor (2001)
  5 - U.S. Senator (2009)
  4 - U.S. Armed Forces General (1953)
