For how many years do we elect a President?

The President of the United States is elected for a term of four years. This duration was established by the U.S. Constitution, specifically in Article II, Section 1. The four-year term allows the President to implement their policies and agenda while also providing an opportunity for voters to assess the President's performance and choose whether to re-elect them for another term.

While a President can serve a maximum of two elected terms, which totals eight years, the specific question focuses on the term length for which a President is elected at one time. Other options offer different durations that do not align with the constitutional mandate or the established election cycle for the presidency.
