Nope. Two terms is the maximum I think it's actually in the constitution.

The only president to serve for more than two terms was FDR who I believe got elected for four terms then died is his final term. After that a bill was passed limiting presidents to two terms.

Four years. This is called a "term." No president can serve more than 2 consecutive terms, but can be elected again following a term that they did not serve as president.


Do two terms of president have to be consecutive?

No. It's theoretically possible for a president of the US to have three nonconsecutive terms in office (elected vice-president, becomes president more than two years into his term, loses (or doesn't run) the next election, runs for president in a later election and wins, loses (or doesn't run) in the next election, runs AGAIN in a later election and wins). The only US president so far to serve non-consecutive terms was Grover Cleveland, who was elected in 1884, lost to Benjamin Harrison (despite winning the popular vote) in 1888, and was elected again in 1892.
