He can serve one day shy of half of another term if he assumed office after the president resigned or died. Other than that, two terms (8 years) is the limit. The 22nd Amendment says:

Section 1. 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.
