Nope. 22 Amendment limits it to 2 times.

The 22nd Amendment says no person can be ELECTED to the office of President more than twice.
But -- a two-term President can go on to serve as Vice-President -- then, if the President dies -- the ex-president can assume office until the next election.
Hillery & Bill? It could happen.

Only in the case of a Vice President who has served less than two years as President after replacing his running mate.
Ex: If Bush were to leave office for any reason next year, Chenney would serve the remainder of Bush's term, and be eligible to run for office two times. Thus serving ten years as President.
"Under the amendment, no person may be elected president more than twice. Furthermore, no vice president or other person who has succeeded to the presidency, and served as president or acting president for more than two years of that unexpired term, may be elected president more than once. Consequently, the amendment, while limiting a person to two elected four-year terms as president, theoretically does allow a person to serve up to ten years in office. If a person serving as vice president succeeds to the presidency, and serves for less than two years of the original president's term, he or she may still be elected twice and thus serve a total of ten full years in office. (Actually, there is no impediment to someone being elected Vice President and succeeding to the presidency any number of times, although doing so more than once is highly unlikely.) As of 2006, the only president who could have served more than 2 terms under this circumstance was Lyndon B. Johnson. He became president in 1963 when John F. Kennedy was assassinated, served only 14 months of Kennedy's term, and won an election of his own. Had he stayed in the race in 1968 and won, he would have served 9 years and 2 months in all when he reached the end of the new term."

who puts your president in office?- the people. if a president gets more than 50% of votes from all states yes they can serve a third term. the voice of the people is more powerful. The consitution starts "We the People".

Not anymore. The 22nd Amendment, which was enacted after Roosevelt's four terms, limits them to two terms maximum.
