Nope. Two terms is the maximum I think it's actually in the constitution.
The only president to serve for more than two terms was FDR who I believe got elected for four terms then died is his final term. After that a bill was passed limiting presidents to two terms.

∙ 13y agoYes, the constitution allows a President to serve a total of 10 years in office. If he/she has previously served 8 years and then something were to happen that would call for a special election (highly unlikely due to the long string of automatic replacements behind him) he/she could run again. The most likely scenario for a President to serve 10 years is for the person to become President midway thru the term (a la LBJ) and then get re-elected twice after that. Theoretically, though, something could happen to the vice president midway thru a term (a la Spiro Agnew), then a former 2 term President nominated as new VEEP and approved by Congress, then something happen to the President and the new VEEP/former pres is now President again.

∙ 11y agoNo, A president can only run for President for 2 terms. The President can however be in office up to 10 years if he/she is succeeding another President that finished more than half of his/her term in office.
22nd Amendment of the US Constitution states that a US presidents can serve two four-year terms of office, and a maximum of 10 years if succeeding a President for less than half of a full term.
The 22nd amendment was enacted since Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected 4 times as President but died in his 4th term. It was felt that no other president should be in office that long again.

∙ 16y agoNo. Under the 22nd Amendment nobody can be elected President more than twice. It makes no difference whether the terms are consecutive or not.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThe 22. amendment states that no one can be elected to the office of President of the United States more than twice. So, waiting for years would not help.
