Do two terms of president have to be consecutive?

No. It's theoretically possible for a president of the US to have three nonconsecutive terms in office (elected vice-president, becomes president more than two years into his term, loses (or doesn't run) the next election, runs for president in a later election and wins, loses (or doesn't run) in the next election, runs AGAIN in a later election and wins). The only US president so far to serve non-consecutive terms was Grover Cleveland, who was elected in 1884, lost to Benjamin Harrison (despite winning the popular vote) in 1888, and was elected again in 1892.

How many terms can a president serve-?

This depends on the country/organization. See related questions.United States:A US President may be elected to only two 4-year terms of office, under the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution. He may also serve up to 2 years of the term of the preceding President, through succession, for a total of ten years in office, However, if he serves more than 2 years of a preceding President's term, he can only be elected to one more full term. (The unlikely possibility that a Vice President could succeed to terms of more than one President is not addressed.)Bolivia:A president may only be elected for a single non-renewable 5 year term.Ecuador:As of the 2008 Constitutional Change, A president may be elected to at most two - 4 year terms.2 terms for a total of 8 years ( each term is 4 years).
