10 years.

However, the individual may only be twice elected to one four year term. He or she may obtain the office through order of succession (AMENDMENT XXV) to complete 2 of the total 10 years.

AMENDMENT XXII

Passed by Congress March 21, 1947. Ratified February 27, 1951.

Section 1.

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

What is the maximum amount of time one person can be president?

The maximum amount of time one person can be a US President is 10 years.The Twenty Second Amendment to the US Constitution states that:"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once."So, if a person (the vice-president) takes the office of the President in the first or second year of the preceding President's term, they may only be elected to the office for one four year term. However, if they take the office of President in the third or fourth year of the term, they may then be elected for two four year terms, thus being able to hold the office for a total of ten years.


How many times is the president limited to how many terms in the office?

The limit is two four-year terms of office. The rule was not officially in place, but each President at the time abided by this rule. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was the exception where he served a total of four terms in office. The 22nd Amendment was then adopted after World War II which restricts a sitting President to only two four-year terms of office.
