Question 36 of 128 · American Government · System of Government

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

On the 65/20 list: one of the 20 questions for applicants 65 or older with 20 years as permanent residents.

Accepted answer

  • Four (4) years

Why this is the answer

The President is elected for a four-year term. Presidential elections are held in November, and a person can be elected President only twice, so eight years is the most anyone can be elected to serve. Memory hook: House 2, President 4, Senate 6.
