For how long is the President elected?

The President of the United States is elected for a term of four years. This is established in the U.S. Constitution, specifically in Article II, which outlines the executive branch of the government. The four-year term allows the President to implement policies and lead the country while providing voters an opportunity to evaluate their performance and decide whether to re-elect them.

Additionally, the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution limits an individual to being elected as President for a maximum of two terms, which totals up to eight years. This ensures that no single person can hold the presidency for an extended period, promoting democratic principles and preventing the emergence of an authoritarian rule.

While other options such as two years, six years, and eight years may reference different types of political offices or terms, they do not apply to the presidential election process in the United States.
