Yes, even if he or (I was going to interject she ... but that hasn't occurred ... yet) has been elected twice, they would have to wait a full eight years before running again. I got this information from my husband a few months ago, after I had posed the same question. Having said this, I am not about to go wake him up to make certain.
I suggest you check what I have written, just in case I've gotten it incorrectly. I believe I have it right thought. Nice day. -
Here is the actual text of the Constitutional amendment creating Presidential term limits. It's pretty concrete:
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President, when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
