For how many years is a President elected?

A President of the United States is elected for a term of four years. This is established by the Constitution, specifically in Article II, Section 1. The four-year term is designed to allow the President to implement policies and make decisions while still remaining accountable to the electorate, who have the opportunity to vote for or against the President after that period. Additionally, a President may serve a maximum of two terms, amounting to eight years in total, but each individual term lasts specifically for four years. This structure is intended to prevent any single individual from holding excessive power for too long while ensuring regular intervals for democratic elections.
