What is the question?

John is the 10th president of our Welfare Society.
What is the question that we should ask to get the information about the '10th'
My suggestions.
1. What is the ordinal position of John as the president of our Welfare Society?

Re: What is the question?

I like your question from a grammatical perspective but not a clear-writing perspective. How about:

Which president is John; i.e. the first, second, third?

Bit of a cop out, I know.
