US: The legal limit is 10 years, not 8 as often but erroneously supposed. A President may serve as many as (but not more than) two years of a previous President's term and get elected to 2 full terms of his own. These restrictions are imposed by Section 1 of the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Other applicable areas of law concerning presidential succession are set forth in Article I, Section 1, Clause 6 of the Constitution, and by the 25th Amendment. Of the "recent" Vice Presidents who assumed the Presidency after the death or resignation of their predecessors, LBJ was allowed by law to be elected to 2 terms on his own (although he declined to run a second time after being elected in 1964), while Ford could only get elected to 1 more term on his own, as LBJ had served less than 2 years of JFK's term, while Ford had served more than 2 years of Nixon's second term.

If a president has served 2 terms can that president serve another 2 terms if a different president has served at least one term between the original 2 terms?

The possibility that a former President could be elected or appointed to some other office, and succeed to the Presidency despite the amendment, has never occurred and is the subject of constitutional debate.

Are there any loopholes in the 22nd amendment?
The 22nd Amendment, which limits U.S. presidents to two terms, has few loopholes. One notable consideration is that it does not prevent a president from serving more than two terms if they were not elected to those terms (for instance, if a vice president assumes the presidency mid-term and then wins two subsequent elections). Additionally, the amendment does not apply to the presidency of individuals who served prior to its ratification in 1951. However, there are no formal loopholes that allow a sitting president to legally serve more than two terms.
