For how many years is a President elected?

A President of the United States is elected for a term of four years, as established by the Constitution. This term allows the President to implement their policies and lead the executive branch of government. After serving one term, a President can run for re-election once, potentially serving a maximum of eight years in total. This structure was solidified by the 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, which limits an individual to being elected President for two terms. The significance of this four-year term is to ensure that the leadership of the country can be evaluated and changed if necessary through the electoral process, reflecting the will of the people.
