What would allow a person to serve ten years as president?
If the president kept being elected so he would serve 4 years then if the country was in a huge depression/recession and he/she had a good plan they could be reelected again. AND if the original president dies and the vice president takes his seat he can serve for the next two full terms. Only if the original president's term is 2 years into it.
Where is the proof that presidents can not serve for more than four years?
The answer to that question is found in the twenty second amendment of the constitution. The president can serve for more than four years, however the president can not serve more than ten years.

Why is amendment 22 important?
The 22nd Amendment states that no president will be elected to more than 2 terms or 10 years. Under traditional circumstances the president will be elected to a four year term, then will be re-elected to a second four year term. After serving the eight years, that president may not run again. The ten year clause exists in case a president were to be assassinated. If the president were to be killed, the vice president would then become president. If the (assassinated) president were to serve two years before being assassinated, the vice president would serve the remaining two years, and may run for two more terms (8 years), which would total ten. No one may serve more than ten years. This amendment was passed because many people feared that a president may gain too much power and never leave office.

What is the maximum number of terms an individual can serve in the executive branch?
There is no theoretical maximum, but the practical maximum is a day less than ten years: a vice president could serve just under two years of his predecessor's term, and then two full terms of his own.
Can a president serve two terms then rest one then serve another?
No. The US Constitution limits a president to serving ten years in office, and they cannot run for election if they cannot fulfill the term within that ten years. That means a President who is elected to serve two full terms is not eligible to run again, even if the terms are not consecutive. If a Vice President ascends to the Presidency due to the death or resignation of a President, however, they could run for election and serve two additional terms as long as they do not exceed the ten year limit. Lyndon Johnson, for instance, finished the term JFK was elected to in 1960, then ran for re-election in 1964. He was eligible, but declined to run again in 1968. Gerald Ford would have been eligible to run again in 1980 had he won in 1976 as well.
