2008 test · Question 26 of 100
We elect a President for how many years?
Official USCIS answers
- four (4)
Why this is the answer
The U.S. Constitution sets the President's term at four years. After that, the President must be elected again to keep the job.
💡 Memory tip: Think of the Olympic Games: a President's term matches the four-year Olympic cycle.
This is the 2008 test, for N-400s filed before October 20, 2025. Filed on or after that date? Use the 2025 test.
