In the American system of government, presidents are only allowed to serve two consecutive terms. This was not always so-- President Franklin Delano Roosevelt served nearly four (he died in office in his fourth term). After that, the constitution was amended so that no future presidents could serve more than two terms in a row. Thus, President Obama, who was elected in 2008 and re-elected in 2012, must leave office at the end of his second term.
