Yes. If a person becomes president following the death or incapacity of his/her predecessor, and if the person serves less than one half of the predecessor's term, then that person can run for two terms on his/her own. So a person could in theory serve as president for up to 10 years minus one day. If more than half of the predecessor's term is filled by the person, then that person may have only one additional term.

Which US Presidents regretted their Supreme Court nominations?

AnswerPresidents try to appoint justices who share their political ideology, in order to extend their influence over government beyond their term of office. Sometimes they misjudge how conservative or liberal a justice is, and find that he or she votes differently than the President expected or would prefer.President Eisenhower is a classic example of someone who erred (in his opinion) in his choices, which had the effect of shifting the tenor of the court from conservative to liberal, something he had not intended.Looking back on his Presidency, Eisenhower once said, "I made two mistakes, and both of them are sitting on the Supreme Court." The former President was referring to Earl Warren and William Brennan, Jr., both outspoken supporters of civil rights.There is no evidence that Eisenhower disliked his appointment of Earl Warren or William Brennan Jr. because they were outspoken supporters of civil rights.

What amendments deal with presidential succession?

The twenty-fifth Amendment in the only one related to presidential succession. It allows the Vice President to take office, and allows the President to temporarily give up his powers, and later retake them, and allows the Vice President and Cabinet to collectively temporarily remove the President.Article 2, section 1 clause 6 . of the main body of the Constitution allows the Vice President to take the duties of the President, but does not explicitly make him the President. This same clause gives Congress the power to establish this order of succession but does not specify the order beyond vice president. Accordingly Congress passed a law (Title 3 of the United States Code, section 19) which specifies an order of succession for the cases where the President and Vice President are both unable to serve. See the related question for this order.
