Can a US President hold the office after eight years?

No president can serve for more than eight years because of the 22nd amendment which was ratified after Franklin Roosevelt was elected president four times.

No. After the legislation was passed, a president is only allowed to serve two terms in office, or eight years.

According to the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1951, the only case in which a U.S. presidency may exceed eight years is when someone who has served less than two years of a term to which someone else was elected gets reelected twice. Nobody may be elected U.S. President more than twice, and nobody who has served more than two years of a term to which someone else was elected may be elected U.S. President more than once. For example, since Lyndon B.

Johnson served less than two years of the term to which John F. Kennedy was elected, he could have been reelected a second time in 1968. His withdrawal from the race in March 1968 had nothing to do with the 22nd Amendment.

According to the 12th Amendment, ratified in 1804, "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States." There are a lot of people on each side of the argument of whether this means that someone who has been elected President twice may run for Vice President. The 22nd Amendment does not prohibit anyone from being President; it just prohibits people from being elected President.

So according to "the letter of the law" it seems to be permissible. The debate is in regard to "the spirit of the law", which matters just as much as the actual wording. The bottom line is we cannot know for sure whether someone who has been elected President twice may run for Vice President until someone is sued for trying, or until someone sets a precedent by trying and not being sued.

There is also a third matter to consider: Any constitution is only as powerful as the support, preservation, protection and defense it receives. Every time a constitution is violated without recourse, it becomes weaker. If everyone who swore to preserve, protect and defend the U.S. Constitution actually did so, it would have tremendous power.

However, the fact is that there have been MANY times when the Constitution was violated and the violator was not held accountable. It is the responsibility of the U.S. House of Representatives to call out a federal official who violates the U.S. Constitution or federal law, whether it be bribery, treason, a felony, or a misdemeanor, and when a House member is not doing his/her job, it is the responsibility of every voter in his/her constituency to recall him/her. Therefore, rather than asking "Can he...?", I think what you really want to know is "May he...?" For example, may a President issue an executive order that violates federal law?

No. Can he? Obviously.

Yes and no. The President of the United States (P.O.T.U.S) has an established term limit in the United States Constitution. Under the 22nd Amendment, the P.O.T.U.S Is entitled to 8 years composed of two-four year terms at maximum.

There is one known loophole in this law. Let's say President Obama becomes the next U.S. Presidents Vice President. Obama cannot legally be the President but he is certainly entitled to hold the position of Vice President, which has no term limit.

Suddenly, the current U.S. President dies in Office. Per the constitution, the Vice President is to assume the role of the U.S. President. Obama would serve as the President of the U.S. until the completion of the deceased presidents current term.

So theoretically, a President could hold the Office for as much as 12 years.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
