How many years is in one term how many terms did George Washington serve?

United States presidents are elected to terms that last 4 years. George Washington served 2 terms (8 years) setting the precedent for all subsequent presidents until FDR - who was elected to 4 terms but died during his 4th. Shortly thereafter, the Constitution was amended to limit all future presidents to a maximum of 2 terms unless they were first elected vice president and then assumed office when the president they are serving under leaves office with less than half his term remaining. In that case then can finish the unexpired term and then serve two additional full terms for a total of just less than 10 years maximum. No president since FDR has served more than 8 years.

Since that ratification, only three (3) presidents have served two full terms: Eisenhower, Reagan and Clinton. George W. Bush will become the fourth president to have served two full terms upon completion of this current term which runs through January 20, 2009. The only president elected to serve more than two terms was Roosevelt.

The president is limited to two terms?

Grover Cleveland was elected to two different terms, but not back-to-back. There was no Constitutional limit back then, but a strong custom set by Washington to serve no more than 2 terms was followed by all Presidents until Franklin Roosevelt, who was elected to 4 terms. The 22nd Amendment now limits all presidents to 2 terms.
