What is the length of a President's term of office?

• A. 4 years
• B. 2 years
• C. 6 years
• D. 8 years

Answer: (A)

The length of a President’s term is four years. This four-year term is established in the Constitution and defines the interval between presidential elections. While a president can be reelected, the current rules cap total time in the office through the two-term limit, and there are rules about serving portions of a term if succession occurs. So, the standard single-term duration remains four years, which is why that choice is correct. The other durations—two, six, or eight years—do not match the presidential term length. Two years is associated with members of the House, while six or eight years aren’t fixed presidential term lengths.
