US presidents can be elected to no more than two terms of four years each. They can not serve for more than 10 years and so can not be elected for a second term if they have already served more than 2 years of another president's term.

This limit is set by the 22nd amendment to the Constitution which was ratified March 27, 1951. Before that date, there were no limits on how many times a president might be re-elected.

Theoretically, once of presidential age, a person could alternately be president for 8 years and with four year intervals for the rest of his life, perhaps even longer if he was also a vp under a president who died or was removed from office while vp.
