How long do we elect the president?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

We elect a president for a 4 year term and after the foru years the president can be re-elected for only one more term.

Answer 3

An American president is elected every four years and serves a four-year term - By law, presidents cannot serve longer than two consecutive terms (eight years) in office.
