This assumes you mean President of the United States; if you meant something else, ask again and be more specific.

Technically there's no limit on the number of times you can run for President; the limitation is on how long you can actually be President. In order to be eligible to be elected President, you may not have previously served more than one and one-half terms in that office.

So, it's possible for someone to be elected vice-president, become president one day past the halfway point and serve out the remainder of the term as president (just under 1/2 term), then be elected twice more for two full terms, a total of 1 day less than 2.5 terms (10 years).

If a vice-president becomes president at exactly the halfway mark of the term or earlier, it counts as a full term, so he can only run for president one more time after that (unless he's not elected ... it's possible to ascend to the presidency, serve out more than half a term, and then be defeated in one or more elections until finally elected again, after which you would no longer be eligible to run again).

If a president is elected for two terms how many years in office will the president serve?

if a US President is elected for 2 terms he will serve 8 years unless he resigns, dies, or becomes unable to perform his duties. A vice-president (or other official) who succeeds an elected president may serve for up to 2 years without forfeiting eligibility to two elected terms. So a President can serve a maximum of 10 years under the law set forth in the 22nd Amendment.


What is the maximum amount of time one person can be president?

The maximum amount of time one person can be a US President is 10 years.The Twenty Second Amendment to the US Constitution states that:"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."So, if a person (the vice-president) takes the office of the President in the first or second year of the preceding President's term, they may only be elected to the office for one four year term. However, if they take the office of President in the third or fourth year of the term, they may then be elected for two four year terms, thus being able to hold the office for a total of ten years.
