The president is limited to at most two 4-years terms, as a rule.

The length of each term is established in Article 2, section 1 of the United States Constitution, and it reads in part: "The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years ...

The 22nd Amendment to the United States Constitution establishes the President's term limits and it reads in part: "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."
