What is the most years a person can sevrve as president?

This is like a trick question. The maximum "number of years" one person can serve as President is unlimited. It is NOT 8 years. The 22nd Amendment states that no person may be "elected" more than twice. It says nothing about the number of years a person can serve. It also provides that no person who acted as President for more than 2 years during a term in which some other person was elected President may be elected more than 1 time. So, consider this situation: A vice president becomes president on the death of the president and serves exactly 2 years. Since it is not more than 2 years, he is able to be elected twice. That's 10 years. After that suppose he serves a vice president again and again succeeds to office on the death of the new president. Unlikely, yes, but theoretically it is not prohibited.

How many times can a US president be elected?

US presidents can be elected to no more than two terms of four years each. They can not serve for more than 10 years and so can not be elected for a second term if they have already served more than 2 years of another president's term. This limit is set by the 22nd amendment to the Constitution which was ratified March 27, 1951. Before that date, there were no limits on how many times a president might be re-elected.
