The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America

Section 1. 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 the President more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

Section 2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.

The answer is 10 years. This can happen if a President dies, resigns, or is taken from power. The Vice President will then take office. If he had the office for less than 3 years, he may run for re-election twice. The answer is 10 years. This can happen if a President dies, resigns, or is taken from power.

Answer 3

10 years.

They can only be elected twice however.

In order to make it 10 years, the President has to be President for at least 2 years, then something happens that renders them incapable of finishing their term (I.E. they die). The Vice President then takes over and finishes the remaining two years.

That person can run for President than for 2 more terms.

However, if the President passes away before the 2 year mark of their term, the vice President can only run for President once.

Answer 4

A president can be elected at most two times, so that 8 years is the longest that most Presidents can serve. However , if a person became President because he was he was vice-president when the President dies or resigns and he has been in office for no longer than two years, he can still be elected two times and so could serve for as much as 10 years total. Therefore, 10 years is the absolute maximum number of years than any US President can be in office,

Answer 5

There is a limit of two terms or eight years as a rule. If a person fills out of the term of another for no more than two years, he can still be elected for two more terms and so serve a total of ten years.
