Yes. \n\nFor example Norm Coleman from new york represents Minnesota and Clinton of Arkansan represent New York.\n\nWhether this is right is a matter of opinion only.\n\nWhat is interesting as well is that the President and Vice president can not be residents of the same state.....\n\nWhich was the debated case in for Bush and Cheney, although both lived in Texas Cheney claimed Wyoming.

4 years, and they can go for 2 terms. 8 years total if elected twice.

This is a really good question. The answer is "Yes & No."\n\nWhen running in the Primaries, yes, a number of candidates (like Richard Gephardt and others) were on the ballot for the party's nomination for President as well as for another seat (in Gephardt's case, a seat in the House).\n\nAfter the party nominates a person for the presidency, that person can still, technically be on the ballot for another office; but it would be political suicide for him/her to do it, because it would send the voters the message, that the person didn't fancy his/her chances of being elected to the presidency, and was looking for a back-up job.\n\nSo while technically possible, it's not politically possible.\nAnd if the unthinkable happened, and a person won two jobs (say, Senator, and President) the person would have to choose to give up one, because the Constitution forbids anyone from holding more than one federal office at a time.

Senators serve for six-year terms that are staggered so elections are held for approximately one-third of the seats (a "class") every second year. \n\nEach House Representative serves for a two-year term and may be re-elected an unlimited number of times. \n\nBy the time of their inauguration, the President and Vice President must be:\nnatural born citizens (or citizens at the time of the Constitution's adoption)  thirty-five years old \ninhabitants for at least fourteen years of the United States. \n\nSupreme Court of the United States, highest court in the United States and the chief authority in the judicial branch\n\nArticle III federal judges" (as opposed to judges of some courts with special jurisdictions) serve "during good behavior". They cannot be removed from office except by impeachment by the House of Representatives followed by conviction by the Senate. Often this is expressed by saying they are appointed "for life". They hold their seats until they resign, die, or are impeached and convicted.

FDR did NOT pass such a law.  As a result of FDR breaking the tradition set by George Washington of not running for a 3rd term, The 22nd amendment to the Constitution was passed.  It states that 'No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.'  The only provision that MAY prevent such a person from being elected Vice President is the 12th amendment.  The last sentence of which reads 'But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.  It is interesting to note that while the 22nd amendment prevents a person from being ELECTED to the office of President more than twice, the Constitution does not specifically prohibit a person from Serving as President more that twice.

Amendment XXV to the Constitution answers your question:\nAmendment XXV\nSection 1. In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President. \n\n\nSection 2. Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress. \n\n\nSection 3. Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President. \n\n\nSection 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President. \n\n\nThereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office. \n\n\nSo the Pres gets the first word, but his Cabinet can overrule along with the VP, or Congress may override with either a standing or a special body.\n\nMore than you'd ever want to know on the 25th Amendment is here:\nhttp://millercenter.virginia.edu/programs/natl_commissions/past_commissions/comm_1988.pdf\n(PDF)

absolutely. If "none of the above" gets the most votes, the whole process starts over with 2 new candidates. That would be awesome. Never happen though...

At that time there was no rule limiting a president to 2 terms. It was just a tradition after G Washington declined to run for third term. The law limiting the president to two terms came into being in  in March of 1947, after Franklin D. Roosevelt died.

The current president (lame duck) would finish his term and the Vice president would assume the presidency. Since this has never happened before, I'm sure someone would try to get a new election in progress.

Yes, a 2-term President can become Vice President.\n\nMost former presidents seem to get away from politics after their presidency though.  They make a ton of money in the private sector and on the lecture circuit.  And anyway, it's sort of like taking a demotion.\n\nMost Vice Presidents only take the job because it gives them an inside track on gaining support (as well as funding)to become president.

It goes by the term of the person to hold the office.  And I don't mean when a person runs for reelection-type term.  Cleveland was president, then he didn't run/lost (I don't remember what happened) then he became president again.  Thus, Cleveland was elected and was the sitting president at two different times, which entitles him to be called the 22nd & 24th.  If he would have done it all at the same time, then it would only be considered one spot.\n\nI imagine this is also done to avoid confusion in history class.

No he cannot.  After FDRs death in 1945.  The house and Senate passed a amendment limiting the time a person can be president.  8 Years if elected or 10 Years if the person was a vice president and the president died two years into the term and then the person ran for election.

No...\nClinton served two terms.\nHe could run as VP but in the event that the president died Clinton as VP still would be unable to take the office. (22ND Amendment)
