Have heard a President can serve 10 years. No more than half of a president’s term. More than 10 years? I’ve heard no. Definitely an interesting subject to research. Johnson could have been President for 9 years and two months if elected again, the last 14 months of Kennedy’s term and two elections.

The Constitution only allows someone to be elected twice; it is not clear to me if he could serve longer than the two terms plus half as an elevated VP if he was ‘appointed’ - like Ford. Could Harris resign, be replaced as VP by an appointed Obama, then Biden be removed for inability to function, elevating Obama to most of a third term?

Where did you hear this? Sitting with all the other old geezers around the cast iron stove and the cracker barrel at Sam Drucker's General Store?!

It's too bad there isn't some sort of worldwide electronic database where one could run a quick automatic search, and find the answer in milliseconds. Then we wouldn't have to speculate or rely on hearsay or poll FReepers for their opinion. Instead, we'd have actual facts.
