I was a tradition since George Washington only served two terms and refused to run for a third.  Franklin Delano Rosevelt, however, was elected to four terms but died before completing his fourth.  This led people to adopt the 22nd amendment.

The 22 amendment to the Constitution, which limits the President to two terms, does not not mention restrictions at all on the V.P., so the answer is yes.

The Constitution states that a President can serve two terms or a maximum of ten years.

It's an issue that has not been dealt with yet and could be contentious if it ever does. The problem is, the 22nd amendment, which limits presidents to two terms does not specifically say that the VP cannot have been president for 2 terms, but at the same time, the twelfth amendment states, "But no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States." Whether or not this applies to the interpretation of the 22nd amendment is not at all agreed upon and would involve a Supreme Court dispute if it ever arose.

2 terms. No exceptions. The 22nd Amendment states this law.

Because he came before the law limiting Presidents to two terms.  Up until that point, it was just an unofficial rule, accepted because Washington served two terms.  Since he was elected to four terms, his opposing party made the law as soon as they had control of congress.

The total number of years a person can serve as president is 10.  Example:  Say President Bush is unable to serve the remaining 2 years of his presidency (after January 20, 2007) Vice President Cheney would serve the remaining time of President Bush's term.  Then Vice President Cheney could serve 2 full four-year terms.

Because Grover Cleveland was elected to two non-consecutive terms, he is counted twice.\n\nTwenty-Second President\n1885-1889\nTwenty-Fourth President\n1893-1897\n\nAnd you have something incorrect there.  Bill Clinton was the 42nd president of the U.S.\n\nThis should be easy to remember, because of "Bush 41" and "Bush 43".

Members of the US Senate are elected for 6 years.  1/3 of the Senate is up for election every 2 years.  Members of the House of Representatives are elected every 2 years.  They spend all of their energy getting re-elected and never do anything worthwile for the country.\n\nIf by term limits you mean "How long can the serve or how many times can they be relected?"  The answer is there is no limit to the number of times they can be elected.

That's a good question, and there has been debate over whether to require term limits for Congress.  The President didn't used to have term limits until after FDR.  In favor of no term limits, experience is very useful and congressmen can be ousted during election periods. On the other hand, it's easier for an incumbent to win.  The President has A LOT more power in a single person than a single congressman does, and that's probably the main reason the Presidency was given term limits already and Congress was not.

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)

Political dynasty is provided for in the constitution wherein a presidential candidate cannot run for another term and the local officials cannot run after three terms.  Relatives of elected officials cannot be appointed in positions under them under the Local Government Code.  Nepotism is prohibited in government.

The one pro of having the possibility of running more than twice is the concept of the "Lame Duck" Presidency.  This is where the President doesn't get much done because he doesn't have the possibility of moving forward his policy, so congress doesn't try to hard in a second term to push the adjenda.

The elected offices of the executive branch are president and vice president. They both must be a natural born citizen, be 35 years old, and have been a resident of the country for the past 14 years. A president can be elected to two terms of 4 years each, while the vice president serves 4 years and has no term limit. If the vice president succeeds to the office of president due to the president's death, resignation, or impeachment, and serves in that capacity for less than two years, he/she can then be elected to two terms as president, meaning that 10 years is the maximum possible.\n\nAside from those two positions, there are the several cabinet members and heads of various departments, all of which are appointed. There are thus no qualifications per se, as each administration decides what they should be.
