Question 36 of 128 ★ 65/20
The President of the United States is elected for how many years?
Official USCIS answers
- Four (4) years
Why this is the answer
The U.S. Constitution sets one presidential term at four years. A President can serve one term and then be elected again, but each term lasts four years. This is why the official answer is four years.
💡 Memory tip: Remember: a presidential term matches the number of letters in 'FOUR' — four years.
