Yes. If a person becomes president following the death or incapacity of his/her predecessor, and if the person serves less than one half of the predecessor's term, then that person can run for two terms on his/her own. So a person could in theory serve as president for up to 10 years minus one day. If more than half of the predecessor's term is filled by the person, then that person may have only one additional term.

The 22nd Amendment limits the president to two 4-year terms as president. However, a former president could run for a different office later. For example, John Quincy Adams served one term as president, and was later elected to the House of Representatives.

the only way is for the president to declare martial law due to a major threat to national security such as a war on american soil. even then an election must be held immediately after the threat has become at least partially contained.

Which US Presidents regretted their Supreme Court nominations?

AnswerPresidents try to appoint justices who share their political ideology, in order to extend their influence over government beyond their term of office. Sometimes they misjudge how conservative or liberal a justice is, and find that he or she votes differently than the President expected or would prefer.President Eisenhower is a classic example of someone who erred (in his opinion) in his choices, which had the effect of shifting the tenor of the court from conservative to liberal, something he had not intended.Looking back on his Presidency, Eisenhower once said, "I made two mistakes, and both of them are sitting on the Supreme Court." The former President was referring to Earl Warren and William Brennan, Jr., both outspoken supporters of civil rights.There is no evidence that Eisenhower disliked his appointment of Earl Warren or William Brennan Jr. because they were outspoken supporters of civil rights.
