Barack Obama has been president for one term of four years. He may be elected, under the restrictions imposed by the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, for one more four year term; President Obama is running for reelection in 2012. Should he not win, he may run again in 2016 (or in any later election), as the 22nd Amendment imposes no limits on the number of times a candidate may run, only on the number of terms he may serve as president.
