Question about term limits - Nebuchadnezzar - 10-05-2016 The President of the United States is only allowed to serve for two terms or 8 years. What if Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton dies 1 month in office, will their Vice President be able to serve three terms since they never did serve a full term? What about if the President dies with a year left in their term?

My understanding is that if the Prez dies in office and the VP takes over they (the VP) are still eligible for two more terms. Am I wrong?

Am I wrong? That seems logical...maybe there's a cutoff date or something though, I don't know. RE: Question about term limits - mallorian69 - 10-05-2016 If the POTUS dies before the end of their second year of their term the VP is only allowed to one additional term. If it happens after the start of their second year then they are eligible for 2 terms of their own.

If the VP serves less than two years, he can serve two full terms. More than two years, then one term only.

Prior evidence shows that isn't too difficult. ![]() RE: Question about term limits - Nebuchadnezzar - 10-05-2016 If Trump is elected president and dies on January 19, 2018 then Pence can be re-elected once. He finishes out Trumps term as president and gets to run for re-election in 2020...that's it. If Trump is elected president and dies on January 21, 2018 then Pence can be re-elected twice. He finishes out Trumps term as president and gets to run for re-election in 2020 and 2024. If you want to get down to the second, if Trump dies at 11:59:59:999am January 20, 2018 then Pence only gets to run one more time. If Trump dies 12:00:00:001pm January 20, 2018 then Pence gets to run two more times.

Yea I don't know why I read that wrong earlier. I went out last night after work, and think I may have still been a bit hungover earlier. ![]() RE: Question about term limits - michaelsean - 10-05-2016 (10-05-2016, 06:34 PM)RICHMONDBENGAL_07 Wrote: Yea I don't know why I read that wrong earlier.

RE: Question about term limits - 6andcounting - 10-06-2016 I thought presidents could serve for 10 years so that VPs sworn into the presidency with two or less years remaining in that term could still serve two more of their own full-terms.

Quote:The 22nd Amendment specifically addresses this issue. RE: Question about term limits - BmorePat87 - 10-06-2016 I'm sure this has been answered, but they're allowed 10 years max. So if Trump or Clinton dies 1 month in, Pence or Kaine could only run for reelection 1 more time. If POTUS died at the start of year 3 or later, they could run for two more terms. RE: Question about term limits - JustWinBaby - 10-07-2016 What if Kaine dies, Hillary makes Obama her VP...and then Hillary dies?
