The Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution limits the number of times a person may be elected President to two, provided that person has not held the office of president or acted as president for more than two years. In the case of someone who has held the office or acted as president for more than two years, that person may be elected only once. Constitutionally, then, a person could actually serve for two and a half four-year terms. You know its also one of the most importint Amendments!!!
The US Supreme Court is discussed in Article III of the Constitution, which predates all the Amendments.
Article III, Section 1, provides that justices shall hold office "during good behavior," indicating the appointment is for life unless the justice commits a serious offense and is removed by impeachment in the House of Representatives, followed by a trial in the Senate.
Under the 22nd Amendment, a US President may be electedto two 4-year terms of office. However, a Vice-President who succeeds an elected President and serves more than two years of that President's term may only be elected to one term. If the Vice-President succeeds an elected President and serves two or fewer years of that person's term of office may be elected twice more.
This effectively limits a President to a maximum of 10 years in office (two and one-half terms). The amendment was enacted after Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected to 4 terms, and served just over 12 years in office.
Amendment 22, Section 1 (amendment passed 1947, ratified 1951)
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
