Gerald Ford was re-elected 12 times in succession to his seat in Congress.
There was no President of the United States in 1780. The first president of the United States was George Washington who served from 1789 to 1797. Samuel Huntingdon was the President of the Continental congress in 1780. He served from 1779 September 28 to 1781 July 10
GEORGE WASHING TO AND ALL THE MOST OF THE PRESIDENTS THERE ARE 10 PRESIDENTS THAT SERVED TWO TERMS
Yes. The Constitution has no limitation to serving as Vice President... only President. That limitation is two elected terms or 10 years. As a recent example, Vice President Bush served for two full terms under Reagan before running and winning the Presidency. He also ran for a second term against Clinton but lost. VP Gore served two terms and ran after that for Presidency and won (but still lost)... but thats another story. The real question you should be asking,however, is whether a President who has served two terms or 10 years can then serve as Vice President. The Answer to that is NO although that has never been tested. The 12th Amendment states "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."
No. The longest most Presidents have served is 8 years, and Franklin D. Roosevelt was in office for just over 12 years. Even if someone had been U. S. President for 10 years, he would not have served a 10-year term. All U. S. Presidential terms are and have been 4 years. Those who served more than 4 years served multiple terms.
No, no US president has served for the maximum of 10 years. The maximum limit for a president's term is 8 years, as specified by the 22nd Amendment to the United States Constitution. This amendment was ratified in 1951, after Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected and served four terms as president.
Theodore Roosevelt was the only president to serve more than two terms. He died during his fourth term, although he would have kept running had he lived. It was at this point that congress passed an amendment limiting the number of terms a president can serve. Two terms, or 10 years max.
The first and only president to serve a third term was Franklin Roosevelt. He actually served most of a fourth term, but passed away before the term was finished. Congress then quickly passed a law putting term limits on the presidency of two terms.
Based upon Amendment Twenty-Two of the Constitution, no person can be elected to the office of President more than twice or serve more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President. Therefore, the total length of time that any person could serve as President is TEN years.
Once Congress has passed a bill, the President has 10 days to sign it, and it becomes law, or veto it, and send it back to Congress.If the President does not sign or veto the bill in 10 days, it becomes law without the Presidents signature, if Congress is in session. If the President does not sign or veto it in 10 days, and Congress is NOT in session, it is vetoed, called a pocket veto.
You could, but only under unusual circumstances. The only way to serve 10 years is to be the vice-president who takes over for a president who has already served just two years. You finish out the two years and then get elected to two more terms of your own.
every US president is limited to 2 terms, regardless of whether they served them consecutively or fragmented. There has yet to be a president to serve once, wait a term, and serve again. Fun Fact: although presidents may only serve for 3 terms, an individual may serve for 10 years as president. A vice president may serve for 2 years, in the absence of a president, and the term would not count towards his total term.
Yes, Franklin Roosevelt served three terms (a total of twelve years). as a result, the 22nd Amendment was made, which limits a president to a total of two terms and two years (he could only get those two years if he became vice president to another president who later died or resigned).
