Of the 14 U. S. Vice Presidents who became President, the only one whose presidency did not immediately follow his vice presidency is Richard M. Nixon. He did run for president while still the incumbent vice president, but he lost that election (1960) and did not run again for president until 8 years later. It's interesting that Nixon preceded Lyndon Johnson as vice president, but Johnson preceded Nixon as president.

Bush & Cheney for the last 8 years; prior to them it was Clinton & Gore.
He was vice president for 8 years.
8 years in full office
I did some research and it turns out that they can only serve 2 years in office after their 8 years in office as a vice president. Totaling the years that they can serve at 10. So there would be no point to try to run for the presidency after 8 years in the vice presidency. This is a newer law that is not known by most including me until today.

Nixon was Vice President for 8 years and President for about 5 1/2 years.
4 yearss The President and Vice President are elected together or a 4 year term. They can be re-elected once for a total of 8 years.
This is like a trick question. The maximum "number of years" one person can serve as President is unlimited. It is NOT 8 years. The 22nd Amendment states that no person may be "elected" more than twice. It says nothing about the number of years a person can serve. It also provides that no person who acted as President for more than 2 years during a term in which some other person was elected President may be elected more than 1 time. So, consider this situation: A vice president becomes president on the death of the president and serves exactly 2 years. Since it is not more than 2 years, he is able to be elected twice. That's 10 years. After that suppose he serves a vice president again and again succeeds to office on the death of the new president. Unlikely, yes, but theoretically it is not prohibited.
He was a United States Senator and then Vice President for 8 years.
Generally it's two four-year terms, or eight years total. However, it's possible to serve for up to ten years if the person starts as vice-president, then becomes president after at least two years into that term.
