What is the term of office for the president of the U.S.?

The term of office for the president of the United States is four years, which is established by the Constitution in Article II, Section 1. This duration allows the president to implement policies and lead the executive branch effectively over a significant period while still being accountable to the electorate. After completing a four-year term, a president can seek re-election for one additional term, making the maximum time a president can serve eight years in office. This framework is designed to balance stability in leadership with the principle of democratic accountability through regular elections.
