How long is the President's terms?
In the United States, the president's term of office is four years. For many years, presidents were expected to serve no more than two consecutive terms, but there was no law about it-- in fact, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected four times. But in 1951, the 22nd Amendment went into effect and now no president can serve more than two consecutive terms, or eight years.
How much do ex vice presidents get paid?
Part of the job description of the U. S. Vice President is President of the U. S. Senate, and his or her pension is based on his/her service in Congress. Someone who serves in Congress for at least five years, including time served as Vice President, receives a pension equal to the average pay of the three years in which he/she earned the most, up to a maximum of 80% of his/her final pay rate. The former Vice President can start collecting at age 62 if he/she served at least five years, at age 50 if he/she served at least 20 years, or at any time if he/she served at least 25 years.

Who has served the most years as president?

Who was us president for 16 years?
There has never been a president who has served a 16 year term. Presidents can only serve for 4 or 8 years. Franklin Roosevelt was the longest serving U.S. President at slightly over 12 years. The 22nd amendment, limiting presidential terms, was passed following his presidency, and most likely in direct response to it. It is possible for a president to serve as long 10 years even with the 22nd Amendment if he was serving as vice president and takes over for a predecessor who dies or is removed from office during the final two years of that term.
