Andy. The United States has had 52 Presidents, with 51 people holding the office. Let me explain this. We have the traditional 43 Presidents, plus 8 presidents that served under the Articles of Confederation before George Washington. In addition, we must also count David Rice Atchison, who was President of the United States for one day while Zachary Taylor was waiting to take the oath of office.
So, in theory, an individual could hold the office as long as he or she wishes. But, in practice, no one has served more than two terms. In fact, most vice presidents have served for less time than that. There have been 46 vice presidents in U.S. history including current office holder Dick Cheney. Only seven have served two complete terms: John Adams, Daniel Tompkins, Thomas Marshall, John Nance Garner, Richard Nixon, George H.W. Bush and Al Gore.
