Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) - elected to four terms. After FDR, the 22nd Amendment ratified in 1951, limited the presidential office to two terms. 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.

There are no term limits. The person can stay in office for as long as that person is elected and chooses to remain in the congress. Until they die of old age, if they are elected and reelected into their old age.
It's not a question, but I'll answer it anyway. The time an elected official stays in office is determined by the term length of the office, which varies from one government to another, the number of times the person is elected, and if/when the person is forced out of office, due to death, term limit if any, etc., or resigns. A person cannot be elected U. S. President more than twice, and a person who has served at least two years of a presidential term to which he/she was not elected cannot be elected President more than once.

President "elect" or Senator "elect" I believe is the proper title for an elected individual who has yet to take th oath of office.
