Barack Obama's presidency, from 2009 to 2017, remains a pivotal moment in American history. A question that often arises is: how many terms did Obama serve? The answer is straightforward: Obama served **two** terms as President of the United States.
Each presidential term in the U.S. lasts four years. According to the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, no person can be elected to the office of President more than twice. Obama was elected in 2008 and re-elected in 2012, fulfilling the maximum permissible two terms. His presidency saw the passage of the Affordable Care Act, the end of the Iraq War, and the killing of Osama bin Laden, shaping his legacy and influencing American politics for years to come. While some may feel like it flew by, or perhaps felt much longer, those two terms cemented his place in history.
