For how many years is a US President elected?

A U.S. President is elected for a term of four years. This term length is established in the U.S. Constitution, specifically in Article II, Section 1. The four-year term allows for regular elections and is designed to ensure that the President remains accountable to the electorate. Additionally, a president may serve a maximum of two terms, which means a total of up to eight years in office, but each individual term is four years long. This structure aims to balance stability in the executive branch with the need for public accountability through regular elections.
