According to the 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, a succeeding vice-president who serves less than 2 years of a President's term is eligible to serve two full terms of his own, if elected. If the vice-president (or any successor) serves more than 2 years of an unexpired term, he/she is only eligible for one additional four-year term. Since this was not further addressed in the 25th Amendment (1967), the provisions remain in effect in the present day.

A vice president who takes over mid-term and serves less than two years can still run for two full terms in office, as per the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. This means they can potentially serve up to 10 years as president if re-elected for two full terms after completing the initial partial term.

How many years can somebody be president in the US?

Normally, an individual can be president for two terms, which would be 8 years. But when a president takes office following the incapacitation of the previous president, and if the new president serves less than half of the previous president's term, then the new president can still have two terms of her/his own, bringing the longest possible current tenure to 10 years minus a day. No president has had a time in office that long under these conditions. FDR had a very long tenure in office because during his time there were no limits to the number of terms a president could serve. After his death the limits were changed by way of a Constitutional Amendment.
