He knows that the Constitution does not allow him to serve for more than 8 years, so I doubt that he has given the possibility any thought. If he was forced to think about the question, my guess is that he would say that 8 years is enough, for the sake of his wife and children if for no other reason.
A president serves four years, and if he is re-elected, he may serve another four years. Mr. Obama was elected in 2008, and re-elected in 2012. Under the constitution, a president may not serve more than that, so when he term officially ends in January of 2017, he will no longer be president, having served eight years.
No, he is not. President Obama is about two and a half years older than his wife. He was born in August 1961, while Michelle was born in January 1964.
There's has never been a United States President whose presidency lasted for twelve years longer than any other US President. Franklin Roosevelt's presidency lasted for 12 years, but that was, at most, only 4 years longer than any other President's.
FDR
Since U.S. presidents can not serve more than two terms, when Barack Obama's second term ends, he will no longer be able to run for president. In November 2016, there will be an election, and a new president will be chosen.
# Theodore Roosevelt (Youngest President 42 years old when he took office after President McKinley was assassinated) # John F. Kennedy (Youngest Elected President, took office when he was 43) # Bill Clinton (46 years old) Barack Obama was 47 years old when he became President.
I think it is Barack obama because he is way younger than John mccain. Mccain=72 years old. Obama=45 years old.
Obama is still president because his term will not be over until 2017.
Ronald Regan. (? Actor for longer than 20 years)
Gerald Ford was only president for 2 years and 5 months. Whoever told you he served longer than 8 years is incorrect.
President Elect Obama is very likely an honest, intelligent and honorable man. The only true test of whether or not any person is worthy of the Office of the President is time. We will know much more in eight or ten years than we do now.
No, he is merely a US President with better intentions than some of his predecessors.
