In the United States, a president is elected to a term of four years, and may be elected to two such terms. The legal limit is 10 years, not 8 as often but erroneously supposed. A President may serve as many as (but not more than) two years of a previous President's term and subsequently be elected to two full terms of his own. These restrictions are imposed by Section 1 of the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Other applicable areas of law concerning presidential succession are set forth in Article I, Section 1, Clause 6 of the Constitution, and by the 25th Amendment (see Related links, below, for more information).

In what year would the 54 president take office?
It depends upon how many times Presidents 45 through 53 get re-elected. President's serve 4 year terms and can only serve maximum of two terms, thus the maximum any President can serve is 8 years. As of right now President Obama is our 43rd President serving in the 44th presidential peroid. - so between him and the 54th President there will be 10 other Presidents and each will serve either 4 or 8 years. Since 10 Presidents will serve either 4 or 8 years in order to get to President 54 - there will be a minimum of 40 years (10 x 4 years) to a maximum of 80 years (10 x 8 years) before President 54 takes office. Thus, since we are in year 2009, the range would be from 2049 - 2089 when President 54 takes office.
