In the United States, a president may be elected to serve no more than two terms.
A president is elected by the electoral college (which is chosen by the votes of citizens). If no one candidate receives more than half of the votes, as can happen if there are more than two candidates, the House of Representatives chooses the President. The related link give more details.
The 22nd amendment says that no one can be elected President more than twice, and anyone who has served more than 2 years of someone else's term as President can only be elected to one full term.
They can be elected President two more terms.
Four years. This is called a "term." No president can serve more than 2 consecutive terms, but can be elected again following a term that they did not serve as president.
Not exactly. It says the no one may be elected for more than two terms and that a person who has already served more than two years of a term to which another person was elected can only be elected for one more term. It follows that a person who has served for no more than two years of another person's term could be elected for 8 more years giving a total of at most ten years in office.
Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) - elected to four terms. After FDR, the 22nd Amendment ratified in 1951, limited the presidential office to two terms. 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.
Franklin D. Roosevelt was the only President to be elected more than two times. He was elected to four terms, in 1932,1936,1940 and 1944. His record will never be equaled because since then an amendment has been ratified that limits the president to being elected no more than twice.

Amendment 22 - Presidential Term Limits. Ratified 2/27/1951.1. 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.
When the president is elected he or she will serve a term of not more than 4 years to be followed by no more than 1 more term of not more than 4 years if elected again. This means that the maximum number of years a president can be elected to serve is 8. It's possible for a president to serve more than that if his or her first term was the result of the previous president stepping down or passing away. The Vice President would finish the first president's term and still be eligible to be elected twice to two 4 year terms
