Question

Write a short note on the tenure of the US president.

Answer 1

The President of the United States is elected for a term of four years.

• A President can be re-elected only once, meaning the maximum tenure is two terms (eight years).
• According to the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution, no person can be elected President more than twice.
• In exceptional cases, if a Vice President or any other successor takes over the presidency and serves less than two years of the remaining term, they may still be elected for two full terms, making the maximum tenure 10 years.
