Random question for my politically minded friends here: I remember my dad telling me once that a president COULD be re-elected 3 times as long as it isn't in a row. (like 2 terms and then absent the next and then 4-8yrs later run again) is he right? My dad is Canadian so he may be wrong with his politcal systems or whatever, but I've never gotten that clarified XD

You cannot be elected as president for more than two terms, regardless of whether they are consecutive or not, however, you can be president for about 10 years, if you became president after the previous president died and held office for two years or less...
