The U.S. Constitution lays out the 4 year term. This was debated by the Founders of the Country in the Second Constitutional Convention. This was seen as a way to get the most qualified candidates to run, a major concern at the time as many founders believed the original idea of having a single, non-renewable 7 year term would stop these individuals from running. Also it was a way to thwart the re-establishment of a monarch.
