Yes, if the ex-President has not yet served two terms.

The qualifications for Vice President of the United States of America are the same as for President of the United States of America; further, Office of the Vice President is subject to both federal statutory, and United States constitutional limitations.

  • The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, said: No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once.

The 22nd President of the United States was Grover Cleveland from March 4, 1885 to March 4, 1889. Grover Cleveland was elected again as the 24th President of the United States from March 4, 1893 to March 4, 1897.

Now however a President can only serve two 4 year terms. This eliminates lifelong power by allowing a person to be reelected over and over.

Yes, as long as they have not served two full terms or more than a year of another President's term. EX: Clinton can NOTbecome president again because he has served two terms. EX2: Jimmy Carter or George H. W. Bush can become president again because they only served one term.

Yes, it happens all the time. Bill Clinton and G. W. Bush both served two terms. What I suspect you are asking is "can a president serve non-consecutive terms?" The answer to that is "Yes, provided that he has not served more than six years as President".

This limit was established by the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, which was put into place in 1951. Until Franklin Delano Roosevelt, every president had followed Washington's example and served a maximum of two terms (though some had sought a third term, they had been unsuccessful). The concerns raised by Roosevelt's unprecedented fourth term led to popular support for making the limit a matter of law instead of policy.

yes

A president in the USA may only serve two terms.

So A president that did not get reelected can try again and get elected a second time.

So Jimmy Carter legally could be Elected again.

Why is former presidents are still called president?

Former presidents are not called "Mr. President" - at least, not by those who remember their history. Despite what you might see in the popular media, the correct form of address for a former president of the United States is to use the title of the highest post that he held before becoming president. This courtesy was established by George Washington; the only exceptions to this rule are for former presidents that go on to hold other posts after their administration has ended (Taylor, who became a Senator, and Taft, who became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court). Thus, William Clinton should be addressed as "Gov. Clinton", as he was governor of Arkansas. G. H. W. Bush should be "Ambassador Bush", as he was ambassador to the UN. G. W. Bush should be "Gov. Bush", for his term in Texas. And President Obama will become "Senator Obama" once he leaves office.
