presidential votes happen on national election day, the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. That date changes each year. the President takes office at noon on January the 20th of the next year (about 2 months after "winning") that gives the new President time to organize herself (or himself, but I suppose I am being hopeful there) before taking over. It also gives the sitting President time to call the movers.
The period between the election day and the inauguration is commonly referred to as the "lame duck" period. The out-going president is commonly referred to as a "lame duck" president. Of course. this term does not apply if the president has just been re-elected and is waiting to begin his second term.
The time period between being elected and taking office as president is known as the lame duck period.
There in office for 4 years unless that they are relceted for 4 more years they'd be president for 8 years in all.
The election is the first Tuesday in November unless Nov.1 is Tuesday in which case the election is held Nov. 8. The Inauguration is January 20 of the next year.
Elections are held every four years. The actual time period varies by a day or so, since election are always held on Tuesday.
