The President of the United States is elected for how many years?

What does this answer mean?

The President of the United States is elected for four years. Article II of the Constitution sets the four-year term for both the president and the vice president.

A presidential election takes place every four years, and the winner is chosen through the Electoral College. Under the 20th Amendment, the new term begins at noon on January 20 after the election.

A president can be elected only twice. The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, set that limit. So in total, a president usually serves no more than eight years.

To be president, a person must be a natural-born citizen, at least 35 years old, and a resident of the United States for at least 14 years.

Compare the terms in the federal government: members of the House serve two years, the president four, and senators six. This is one of the 20 questions on the 65/20 list. At the interview, say "four years."
