A term of four years.Two terms are allowed. The US President is elected to a 4-year term. He can normally run for re-election to a second term (if he wishes), provided he is eligible under the 22nd Amendment.

According to the 22nd Amendment ,

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.

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.

What is the a maximum number of terms a president may serve?

Eight years is the limit for most Presidents.

What is the maximun number of years that a person can serve as president?

In theory ten is the maximum but that can happen only in the unusual situation where the VP becomes president with two years remaining in the term and then is elected to two more terms . If there are more than two years remaining, he is allowed to serve only one more term . No one can ever be elected to more than two terms, so the usual maximum is eight years.


What is the maximum number of years a president can serve if he becomes president by taking over for one who has died?

It depends upon the length of the unexpired term that he succeeds to. If a succeeding President serves more than 2 years of another President's term, he can have only one elected term. So his maximum would be between 6 and 8 years. If he serves less than 2 years after succession, he is still eligible for 2 elected terms and may serve between 8 and 10 years. No US President has ever served more than one elected term after succeeding to the position.

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.
