Four years is one term for a US president.
8 years in full office
If the President dies, resigns, or is removed from office, the person who becomes President can then run for two full terms if he or she serves two years or less of the previous President's term.Bottom line: you can be President for no more than 10 years.
A vice president who takes over mid-term and serves less than two years can still run for two full terms in office, as per the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This means they can potentially serve up to 10 years as president if re-elected for two full terms after completing the initial partial term.
According to the 22nd Amendment, any person who serves more than 2 years of a previous President's term of office may only be elected President once. The 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified in 1951 and (presumably) restricts eligibility of a President to a maximum of 10 years in office : up to 2 years following succession of a previous President, and 8 years in two full elected terms. Because of conflicting language in the 12th and 22nd Amendments, this might not preclude situations where a President could again serve following these prescribed terms.

amendment 22
No, They can not run for two full terms. However,they may run for one more term in office as President of the United States.
An American president can be elected a maximum of two times. The Twenty-Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1951, limits a president to serving two terms in office. However, if a vice president assumes the presidency due to the death or resignation of the incumbent president and serves less than two years of the term, they can still be elected to two full terms.
The only US President to serve more than 8 years in the office was Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945), the 32nd President, who served from March 4, 1933 until his death on April 12, 1945. This was a term of 12 years and 39 days. The 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified in 1951 and (presumably) restricts eligibility of a President to a maximum of 10 years in office : up to 2 years following succession of a previous President, and 8 years in two full elected terms. Because of conflicting language in the 12th and 22nd Amendments, this might not preclude situations where a President again serves following his prescribed two-elected-term limit.
22nd Amendment does this. In other words , a term of up to 10 years is possible under unusual circumstances.
