Two elected four year terms
(Two as presidents have a maximum of how many times they can be elected. It also doesn’t make a difference if the election is successful or not so ‘elected’)

Answer:

two elected four-year terms

Step-by-step explanation:

The 22nd Amendment limits how many times a single person can be elected as president of the United States to 2 terms. The amendment doesn't require these terms to be consecutive, meaning that a former president could be elected again years after having left office. The Amendment was proposed after Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected a third and a fourth time, causing concern to the people and congress, so Congress passed the Amendment in 1947.
