Presidential term limits

Presidential term limits are legal restrictions that prevent a person from serving more than a set number of terms as president. In many countries, including the United States, this means a president can serve a maximum of two four-year terms, totaling eight years. These limits are designed to prevent the concentration of power and encourage democratic leadership by ensuring regular opportunities for new candidates. Once a person has served these terms, they are ineligible to run for the same office again, promoting political diversity and accountability in governance.
