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.
