The President of the United States can serve only two terms. This rule comes from the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution. A term is four years, so a President can serve a maximum of eight years.

The 22nd Amendment was added to keep one person from staying in power for too long. It helps protect democracy by limiting how much power one President can have. This rule makes sure that leadership can change over time and that no President becomes too powerful.
