How many times same person can be selected as us president?
US: The legal limit is 10 years, not 8 as often but erroneously supposed. A President may serve as many as (but not more than) two years of a previous President's term and get elected to 2 full terms of his own. These restrictions are imposed by Section 1 of the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Other applicable areas of law concerning presidential succession are set forth in Article I, Section 1, Clause 6 of the Constitution, and by the 25th Amendment. Of the "recent" Vice Presidents who assumed the Presidency after the death or resignation of their predecessors, LBJ was allowed by law to be elected to 2 terms on his own (although he declined to run a second time after being elected in 1964), while Ford could only get elected to 1 more term on his own, as LBJ had served less than 2 years of JFK's term, while Ford had served more than 2 years of Nixon's second term.
