No, a US President cannot serve more than 8 years... 2 terms of 4 years each. That law was enacted after WWII, after Franklin Delano Roosevelt served 3 terms.

When the president is elected he or she will serve a term of not more than 4 years to be followed by no more than 1 more term of not more than 4 years if elected again.

It's possible for a president to serve more than that if his or her first term was the result of the previous president stepping down or passing away.
