8 at most!!! A person can be elected to no more than two four-year terms as long as he/she has not served more than two years of a term that someone else started. Therefore it is possible for a President to serve any number of years up to ten, but the great majority serve a multiple of a full term, either four or eight years.
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.
That president was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who died before completing the 4th term. He saw America through the Great Depression and most of WWII.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He served 3 full terms and part of a fourth before his death.

FDR was elected to 4 terms. After he died during his fourth term, the Congress passed a law. The President of the USA can serve no more than 2 full terms as President (if he/she is Vice President to a President that dies in office, then they can serve the remaining term as President and serve an additional two terms in office). Therefore President Harry Truman could serve two full terms as President in addition to the term he finished up for FDR. (HST only ran for more term). LBJ could serve as two full terms plus the term he was Vice President for JFK. LBJ only served one full term as President. He did not run again in 1968.
