Technically, there is no legal limit to the number of terms a person can serve as U. S. President. The 22nd Amendment to the U. S. Constitution limits the number of times a person can be elected U. S. President to two. Those who previously served at least two years as President or Acting President can be elected only once.
A person may be ELECTED to the office of President twice. Each term of office is 4 years. However, if a person is ACTING as President (the Vice president has succeeded to office on the death of the President) for more than 2 years, they can only be elected to one more term. There is a limit of 10 years total in office as President. This is in the 22nd amendment to the US Constitution.
they can serve 2 terms & serve for 4 yrs.
Two terms. Each term is four years.

Franklin D. Roosevelt being elected to serve four terms as President.
No. The 22nd Amendment prohibits an individual from being elected for more than two Presidential terms. Obama was elected for his 2 terms.
The 17th amendment resulted in senators being elected directly by the voting public.
The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits anyone from being elected U.S. President more than twice, and it prohibits anyone who has served as President or Acting President for at least two years of a term to which someone else was elected President from being elected U.S. President more than once. For example, if Gerald Ford had won the Election of 1976, he would have been ineligible to run again because he served as President more than two years of the second term to which Richard Nixon was elected President.
The 17th amendment resulted in US senators being elected directly by the voting public.
The 22nd Amendment states that "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 President more than once." With that said, it is possible, but would most likely not happen. Yes, but only if the former president "has time left." Presidents have term limits and if a former president has reached his/her limit then he/she cannot be VP because he/she would not be able to assume the office of president without violating the 22nd amendment.
17th amendment.
No, Obama was a Senator before being elected president
He became Vice President and then President without being elected by the electoral college. He was appointed VP under the terms of the 25th amendment after Spiro Agnew resigned. He then became President when Richard Nixon resigned.
Franklin D. Roosevelt was the only President to be elected more than two times. He was elected to four terms, in 1932,1936,1940 and 1944. His record will never be equaled because since then an amendment has been ratified that limits the president to being elected no more than twice.
