The very first US President, George Washington, served 8 years or two 4-year terms. If speaking of more than 2-terms, Franklin Delano Roosevelt served more than 3-terms or 12 years in office as the US struggled to deal with World War 2.

George Washington, in office from 1789-1797. His exit after his second term birthed a precedent that was respected until Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was elected to four consecutive terms. Afterward, the 22nd Amendment was enacted in 1951 to legally limit the Presidency to two terms.

The bottom row lists the number of units demanded by each destination (customer). The bottom right corner is the total units demanded and supplied. The upper right corner of each cell (small squares inside the table) lists the shipping cost per unit from the source (left cell in row) to the destination (top of column).

Can a president serve two terms in a row or two terms total?

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.

George Washington , the first president, served two full terms, but his first term started late and began on April 30 , instead of the intended March 4, date due to delays in the government set up, in this very first presidential election.
