Question

1. what is the maximum amount of time one person can serve as president of the united states?

○ four years
○ eight years
○ six years
○ ten years

Explanation:

Under the 22nd Amendment of the US Constitution, a president can serve two full four - year terms (8 years). But if a person assumes the presidency mid - term (e.g., due to the death or resignation of the previous president) and serves less than 2 years of the previous president's term, they can then be elected to two more full terms, which can result in a maximum of 10 years (e.g., serving 2 years of a partial term + 2 full 4 - year terms).

Answer:

D. ten years
