Presidential Elections
The president and vice president are elected to four-year terms in
even-number years evenly divisible by 4 (e.g. 1992, 1996, 2000, etc.)
The 22nd amendment to the Constitution limits presidents to no more than
two terms.
In the event the presidency becomes vacant due to death, permanent
disability, resignation or impeachment, the vice president becomes the
new president. During the temporary disability of the president, the
vice president serves as acting president. In the event of a vice
presidential vacancy, the president nominates a replacement who must be
approved by Congress before taking office as the new vice president.
