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.

The presidential oath is: "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."
