The original reason was to keep the president from accumilating too much power. The founding fathers did not want the president to have the power of a king.

What is the amount of time a US president can serve in office?
A president can be in office a total of two terms. Some presidents have been in office a little longer than that, but after Roosevelt was elected 4 times, a law was passed that 8 years was the limit. People wanted George Washington to be in office longer than 8 years, but he refused not wanting America to have anyone like a king. (The whole reason why we fought the Revolutionary War.) It's 10 years. If the vice-president succeeds a sitting president and serves 2 years or less of that president's term then the vice-president can still serve 2 terms of 4 years each (assuming he can get elected) so that's 2 + 4 + 4 = 10. That's the only way that can happen. If a person is elected to the office of president then it's 2 terms = 8 years. But the maximum any person could conceivably serve is 10 years.
