The U.S. Constitution ensures that the terms of office for members of Congress and the President are separate and distinct. The President is elected through a nationwide vote for a fixed term of four years, while members of Congress are elected through separate elections for each chamber (House of Representatives and Senate) and serve different terms (two years for Representatives, six years for Senators). This separation of terms and election processes helps to maintain a system of checks and balances between the legislative and executive branches of government.
