An American president can be elected a maximum of two times. The Twenty-Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1951, limits a president to serving two terms in office. However, if a vice president assumes the presidency due to the death or resignation of the incumbent president and serves less than two years of the term, they can still be elected to two full terms.
The 22nd amendment added term limits to the Presidency. The original Constitution did not limit how many terms the President can serve. The 22nd amendment was enacted after Franklin D Roosevelt served four terms as President. The 22nd amendment limits an individual to two four year terms (a President who assumes office by reason other than an election (impreachment or death of the current president) can serve two full terms if he assumes office in the last two years of the former president's term and only one full term if he assumes office in the first two years of the former president.

Only two are listed in the Constitution: that he assumes the Presidency upon the inability of the President, and that he is the president of the Senate, where he may only vote in the case of a tie.
Nixon was elected president and he had to follow the boundaries within the constitution. He did not have a coup to become president as your question assumes.
The 25th amendment (1967) to the Constitution shows the Constitution's flexibility. When the Constitution was first drafted, it did not have any provisions for presidential disability or vacancy in the office of vice president. This amendment established a process whereby if the president becomes disabled, the vice president assumes the responsibilities of that office until the president can resume his duties.
These are the express powers of the Vice President:The VP is the President of the Senate and can preside over it.He casts a vote in the Senate when there is a tie.He assumes the powers of the President upon the death, resignation or incapacitation of the President.
