The 22nd amendment specifically states no one can be elected to more than 2 terms as President, and cannot run more than once if serving more than 2 years of the prior President's term (such as a Vice-President). This means that no one serves in the Executive office more than 8 years.

The 22nd Amendment says that a person can serve only two terms as President, even if the terms are not served back to back. If a person takes over the President as a result of a previous President's resignation, their time served as President isn't included in the two-term limit.

The 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution limits the President to two four year terms. This was the traditional limit until FDR ran and was elected four times.
