Can a vice president who becomes president by succession be elected president for 2 full terms?
Yes, provided that he / she becomes President more than two years into the initial term.
The twenty second amendment to the US Constitution stipulates that a President is not eligible for re-election if they have served more than six years in office.
Gerald Ford, had he been elected in 1976, would have been eligible for re-election in 1980, for instance.
No President has served more than two terms since the adoption of the amendment, however.

If a president is elected for two terms how many years in office will the president serve?
if a US President is elected for 2 terms he will serve 8 years unless he resigns, dies, or becomes unable to perform his duties. A vice-president (or other official) who succeeds an elected president may serve for up to 2 years without forfeiting eligibility to two elected terms. So a President can serve a maximum of 10 years under the law set forth in the 22nd Amendment.
What is the tenure of the president of the US?

This means the absolute longest amount of time anyone could serve as President is nine years, 364 days.
