Omid, that is actually a very good question! Every way I think to word it sounds awkward. This is the best I can come up with:

Which number president was Bill Clinton?

@SufficientGrace
you never ask this structure in normal English speaking, right?

I don’t think there is a word ending in ‘th’ that could be used in that sentence. I would say that you are correct in saying that it is not a normal structure for English speaking.
