A president is a leader of an organization, company, trade union, university, or country.

Etymologically, a president is one who presides, who sits in leadership (from Latin pre- "before" + sedere "to sit"; giving the term praeses). Originally, the term referred to the presiding officer of a ceremony or meeting (i.e., chairman), but today it most commonly refers to an official. Among other things, president today is a common title for the heads of state of most republics, whether popularly elected, chosen by the legislature or by a special electoral college. It is also often adopted by dictators.

What is the eligibility period to serve as president?
Q. Although one person is limited to two four year terms elected as president, if I recall correctly, an individual can actually serve more than eight years. For instance, the president resigns and then the vice-president finishes up the former president's term. After which I believe they can still run for two terms as president as long as their total time served does not exceed something on the order of nine years and change. My question is: How long is that eligibility period?
Asked by Adam S - Wed Nov 5 23:56:09 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Ten years is the limit. For exactly the reason if the president dies in office than the VP can take over. That two years is added in there so that the VP can still have two full terms of their own.
