A number of presidents have served a full two terms, including Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Grant, Cleveland, Wilson, Eisenhower, Reagan, Clinton, and Bush Jr.
If you meant to ask who was the only president to serve two non-consecutive terms, then the answer is Grover Cleveland.
Actually, there have been many US Presidents who have served two full four year terms, it happens a lot. Only one person was ever elected to four terms, however, that being Franklin Delano Roosevelt. And he died during his fourth term, so he only completed three full terms.
the most recent president to serve lass than a full term was Richard Nixon
Either way is permissible, and both have happened. A President is limited to ten years in office. That means that a Vice President (or Speaker of the House, or whoever winds up taking office) can take over office if the President dies or resigns for two years of the original President's term and then be elected to two full terms of his or her own. The Constitution does not dictate that they be consecutive terms.
In 1904, when Roosevelt was elected to a second term, he promised not to run again in 1908, since his first term was almost a full term and he did not believe a President should serve for more than two terms.
The Vice President becomes President and completes the original Presidents original term of office.
8 at most!!! A person can be elected to no more than two four-year terms as long as he/she has not served more than two years of a term that someone else started. Therefore it is possible for a President to serve any number of years up to ten, but the great majority serve a multiple of a full term, either four or eight years.
A president can serve no more than two full terms.
2 terms
Two four year terms. He/She can also serve 2 plus years as Vice President/President for the previous President.
Many presidents have served two full terms.
FDR was elected to 4 terms. After he died during his fourth term, the Congress passed a law. The President of the USA can serve no more than 2 full terms as President (if he/she is Vice President to a President that dies in office, then they can serve the remaining term as President and serve an additional two terms in office). Therefore President Harry Truman could serve two full terms as President in addition to the term he finished up for FDR. (HST only ran for more term). LBJ could serve as two full terms plus the term he was Vice President for JFK. LBJ only served one full term as President. He did not run again in 1968.
the new President can serve only one full four-year term.
Hoover served one full term.
George Washington
The US President can serve a maximum two full terms. One term is four years. A president who finishes another president's term which has less than two years to go, can still serve two more full terms. Therefore, in theory, it is possible to serve for 10 years in this special case.
Yes. Franklin Roosevelt was elected to four terms and served until his death in 1945. On February 27, 1951, the 22nd amendment was ratified which limits the president to two terms. However, in addition to the two full terms, a president may serve up to two years of a previous president's term.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He served 3 full terms and part of a fourth before his death.
According to the United States Constitution, a person can serve up to two terms as President, with each term being four years. There are no term limits for the Vice President, so theoretically one could serve in that position indefinitely, as long as they are reelected or chosen by the President to serve again.
