    Glad Obama was elected for a second term! According to CP24 today, the "support" for Obama vs Romney was 7 - 1 in the city of Toronto from what they polled.

    How many terms can a US president serve for? Is it only 2? If so, I wonder who will take over after Obama...

    It's 2 terms..the only person who has served more than 2 terms is F D Roosevelt who was elected in 1933 and served until his death in1945.

    Amendent 22 of the US consitution gives the number of terms allowed to be served

    1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President, when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

    2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.

    Hope not, it would kill her. She doesn't look good although I always thought she was smarter than Obama.

    Time to put an age limit on running I think. Min. 35 max. 65
