Who was us president for 16 years?

There has never been a president who has served a 16 year term. Presidents can only serve for 4 or 8 years. Franklin Roosevelt was the longest serving U.S. President at slightly over 12 years. The 22nd amendment, limiting presidential terms, was passed following his presidency, and most likely in direct response to it. It is possible for a president to serve as long 10 years even with the 22nd Amendment if he was serving as vice president and takes over for a predecessor who dies or is removed from office during the final two years of that term.

How many terms may a US president be elected to?

Under the 22nd Amendment, a US President may be electedto two at most 4-year terms of office. However, a Vice President who succeeds an elected President and serves more than two years of that President's term may only be elected to one term. A Vice President who succeeds an elected President and serves two or fewer years of that person's term of office may be elected twice more.This effectively limits a President to a maximum of 10 years in office (two and one-half terms).The actual text of Amendment 22, Section 1(amendment passed 1947, ratified 1951)"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 the President more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term."Now, they can only serve two 4-year terms.
