Pres could serve just one term and years later do one more. Limit is two terms. Added amendment to our constitution. Changing that is near impossible but NOT impossible.

If a president served only one term in office and years later decides to run for a second term that is allowed though his credibility will be damaged.

Here's what I found.
Just One President Served More Than Two Terms
The only president to serve more than two terms was Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1940 he won the election for his third term. Four years later in 1944, he ran again and became the only president to be elected to a fourth term. However, he was just a few months into his fourth term when he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and passed away on April 12, 1945. Roosevelt was able to remain president for so long because the country was in a state of turmoil - World War II and the post-depression era - and he was a popular and reliable figure the people felt could lead them during their weakened times. Known as FDR by many, he will always be remembered for igniting hope in the millions of people in the United States who were suffering from the consequences of the Great Depression. One of his most well-known programs was the New Deal, in which he started a chain of events to stimulate the economy. It was successful at first and the economy was booming; however, by 1937, a recession began. Roosevelt provided money to China and Britain during the war, and gave aid to those countries who were fighting against Nazi Germany. Although he had tried to remain somewhat neutral, and allow the rest of the world to do the fighting, he could not stay on the sidelines any longer after December 7, 1941. Once the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, he convinced the country to join the allies in World War II.

The Constitution provides that an amendment may be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures.
No one wants Klu Klux Klan member Trump, to have more than two terms.

The 22nd amendment to the Constitution is what prohibits presidents from serving more than 2 terms. It passed after (and because of) FDR's terms as president. Prior to that, it was simply a norm set by George Washington that other presidents elected to follow.

I think you should be able to break up the 8 years though. Like if you wanted to stop being president after two years you could hand it over to the VP and still have 6 years left.
