I count 9 : Cleveland, Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy,Lyndon Johnson, Carter, Clinton and Obama.
However , Andrew Jackson's Democratic Party elected Jackson, Van Buren, Polk, Pierce and Buchanan, so you get 14 if you add them in to the total.
I would not include them since the Jackson party split in 1860 and lost all its Southern membership. After the war, a new opposition party arose in 1868 to counter the Republicans and became the modern Democratic Party. It really had few ties to the Jackson Democrats except the name.

∙ 7y agoNine US presidents were members of the Modern Democratic Party: Grover Cleveland, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, James E. Carter Jr., William Clinton, and Barack Obama.
Before the Civil War, five presidents Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, James Polk, Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan were members of the Democratic Party founded by Jackson.
This party split in 1860 . The new Deomcratic Party which formed after the Civil War was only remotely related to the old Jackson party.
You may also want to count Andrew Johnson as a Democrat, since he was a Republican for only four years while he Vice-president and President.

How could Democrats stop the presidents?
Difficult question. "democrats" are, of course, those who believe in democratic principles in governing. ("Democrats" being members of the Democratic Party.) And "presidents" is the plural of the term president. There are presidents all over the place; from local civic clubs up to national organizations. The current President of the United States is never plural, unless you are speaking of all of the former presidents of the United States. When speaking of The President of the United States typically "President" is capitalized. As in: "The President is flying to Europe for a conference." The current President of the United States is a Democrat. Of the four living former presidents of the United States, two are Republicans and two are Democrats. (Carter, Bush, Clinton, Bush II) Interpreting your question in a more free-form fashion as "How could the Democrats stop the President?" Brings one to the realization that the questioner does not fully comprehend the basics of the American democracy.
