The maximum length of time a person could actually be President (assuming the relevant laws do not change in the meantime) is just under 10 years. A President may only serve two terms, and if a Vice-President becomes President with more than two years remaining in the term it counts as a full term. If there are LESS than two years remaining, then it doesn't count as a full term, so a Vice President could become President, serve just under 2 years, and then be elected twice more and serve an additional 8 years.

10 years is the absolute maximum and that can only occur in special circumstances. If a vice-president assumes the presidency with two years or less remaining in the term, he can still run and serve for two full four terms which makes 8 more years. Presidents who do not assume the term of someone else, can only stay in power for 8 years.

With term limits as set by the 22nd Amendment, it's actually possible to serve for up to 10 years, but two 4-year terms is generally the standard.
