How many terms does the 22nd amendment limit the president to?

Answer 1

10 years. A president can run 2 terms, each 4 years. That makes 8 years total. However if a Vice President has been in office for 2 years or less and the President dies/resigns then the VP can run again and if elected be in office for 8 years. 2 +8 = 10 years total.

Answer 2

Prior to the 22nd Amendment, there was no limit to the number of terms a President could serve. After Washington did not run after serving only two terms, he set a president for Presidents to follow, as they also did not serve longer than two terms -- sort of a "gentlemen's agreement" to not serve more than two terms. Franklin Roosevelt broke with that tradition, as there was no law to prevent it, and was elected to four terms. It was after his presidency that the 22nd Amendment was passed.

Answer 3

Yes. After President Franklin D. Roosevelt died in office while in the midst of his unprecedented fourth term, the idea that presidents should only serve two terms became popular again: this had been a custom for many years (Roosevelt was the one exception to it), but it was never formally enshrined in the constitution. The 22nd amendment was finally ratified in 1951, and since then, it is now official that no president may serve more than two terms.

Answer 4

The president can only have two four-year terms. The president cannot be president for more than 10 years.

Answer 5

The president can not be elected more than two terms which amounts to 8 years.

A president who fills a partial term for another presidents could possibly serve for 10 years.

Answer 6
