Question

The president may serve up to 10 years.

True or False

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

McGraw Hill: United States Government Our Democracy

"Reaction to Roosevelt’s four terms in office and concern over too much executive power led to passage of the Twenty-second Amendment in 1951. This amendment established that a president would be limited to two terms in office; it also allowed a vice president who takes over in the middle of a presidency and serves no more than two years to serve two more terms. Thus, one person could be president for 10 years but no more." (297)

Answer 2

This is true

According to the 22nd amendment, a president can only serve for two terms and each term is for 4 years each. Totaling for 8 years. However it is possible for a president to serve for 10 years. If a president is unable to serve for whatever reason, the Vice President is allowed to resume over it. And can be elected as president after it. But 10 years is the cap to serve as president.
