Does an acting president remain in office if a war starts before the election?
The President stays in office until the end of his term, regardless if a war starts between the election and inauguration.
If the vice president is impeached who becomes president?
The vice president becomes the new President if the President vacates his office for any reason, including death, resignation, or forced removal via the impeachment process. Note that the President would remain president after impeachment until and unless the Senate votes to convict. Being impeached is roughly equivalent to when a criminal is indicted or charged with a crime. After that a trial is held and unless they are convicted, nothing happens. Both Andrew Johnson and William Jefferson Clinton were impeached. Neither was convicted by the Senate so they each remained president. If the Vice President is impeached as well, the Speaker of the House becomes President.
In a time of war can an American president who has served eight years remain in office?
Yes, it happened with Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 1933-1945 (World War 2).
Can a president run again if they served 4 years but try again and lose?
yes. two term limit, does not have to be back to back. Technically it's 10 years. A vice president that takes office in the event the president can no longer run the country can run for office an additional 2 terms UNLESS he took power prior to the 2nd complete year of the prior president. If the elected president can no longer remain in power and the vice president takes over the office before the second year into that term he can only run for office himself once.
Does the president's salary always remain the same while in the office?
The president's salary can not changed until after the current term expires. However, the salary for the next term can be changed by Congress which means a president can get a different salary for his second term. US Grant found his salary doubled for his second term .
