What is the length of one term for the US president?
US presidents are elected to a four-year term .The U.S. President can be elected to that office two times. Since each term is 4 years, that totals 8 years. HOWEVER, if a Vice President has to serve out the term of a former President (say, the President died), that person can legally serve out the remainder of that term, AND still be elected to two more terms, provided the partial term was no longer than 2 years.

How many years dose the president stay president?
A president can only be elected to two 4-year terms, However, if he became president because the previous president left office and he served for more than 2 years, he can be elected for only one more term. In the United States, 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 subsequently be elected to two 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 (see Related links, below, for more information). The law is virtually silent on the improbable, but possible, event that a person who has previously served for the maximum ten years in the circumstances described above is subsequently elected, or becomes after appointment by the President, Vice President - and becomes thereafter President upon the death, incapacitation, or resignation of the elected or serving President; in such a sequence of events, a person could presumably serve as many as 14 years.
What is the length of time an elected official stays in office?
It's not a question, but I'll answer it anyway. The time an elected official stays in office is determined by the term length of the office, which varies from one government to another, the number of times the person is elected, and if/when the person is forced out of office, due to death, term limit if any, etc., or resigns. A person cannot be elected U. S. President more than twice, and a person who has served at least two years of a presidential term to which he/she was not elected cannot be elected President more than once.
