What is the time period of us president?
His term of office is four years. There is a so-called two-term limit that limits a person to a maximum of ten years in the office of president. That is, a person who has never previously held the office of president or has served two years or less finishing another president's term may be elected a maximum of two times. A person that has served more than two years finishing another president's term may be elected to the office only once.
Which amendment states that one person can not be president for more than 10 years?
The 22nd amendment limits a president to two terms or 10 years if he takes over for another president during that president's term of office. In other words, if someone takes over as president with more than 2 years left on the previous president's term of office, they can only serve 1 additional term elected on their own; they cannot be elected to a second term unless they served less than 2 years of the previous president's term of office.

Which president spent the least amount of time in office?

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.
