How many years dose the president stay president?

Answer 1

A president can only be elected to two 4-year terms, However, if he became president because the previous president left office and he served for more than 2 years, he can be elected for only one more term. In the United States, the legal limit is 10 years, not 8 as often but erroneously supposed. A President may serve as many as

(but not more than) two years of a previous President's term and subsequently be elected to two full terms of his own. These restrictions are imposed by Section 1 of the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Other applicable areas of law concerning presidential succession are set forth in Article I, Section 1, Clause 6 of the Constitution, and by the 25th Amendment (see Related links, below, for more information). The law is virtually silent on the improbable, but possible, event that a person who has previously served for the maximum ten years in the circumstances described above is subsequently elected, or becomes after appointment by the President, Vice President - and becomes thereafter President upon the death, incapacitation, or resignation of the elected or serving President; in such a sequence of events, a person could presumably serve as many as 14 years.
