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.

Duration of a office of American president?
There is no fixed length of the office of president world-wide; there are several nations that have presidents. In the United States the standard term is 4 years in length, starting January 20 following the November elections. A US president can currently be elected to 2 terms and no more. However, a US president could serve up to 10 years. If the next-in-line takes the office of president from a president who is no longer able to serve, and if the time left is less than half of the term, the new president may still run for and serve two terms of his/her own. If the time left is more than half of the former president's term, the new president can run for only one four-year term of his/her own.
