The president of the u.s can currently serve three terms of office. TRUE or FALSE?

True; if he is a former vice president and his president dies or resigns he can serve the rest of that term plus two more of his own.The president of the u.s can currently serve three terms of office. TRUE or FALSE?
Is this a 5th grade test?

false. a president can serve two full terms either consecutively (as did presidents clinton and bush, among others) or non-consecutively (as did grover cleveland). if a president is killed in office less than halfway through his/her term, the vice president can run for re-election only once (that is, a vice can't become the stand-in president for 2 years, then be elected president, then run again). it's all in the 22 amendment. fdr was elected 4 times but died shortly after his final reelection. that's the only one who served more than 8, but i guess technically they could do up to 10 now.
He can be elected only twice but serve a total of 10 years. He can succeed a previous president serve no more than 2 years of that term and be elected twice afterwards.
false he can serve two terms of his own.





they can also serve two years of anther's term, like Ford did for Nixon.
Two terms is the lawful limit.
False. 2 terms. This was changed after FDR served 4 terms.
