26.We elect a President for how many years?
26.我們選出的總統(tǒng)任職幾年？
Answer: Four (4)
答案：四年
Explanation: Many of the people who came to North America and later created the U.S. government had come from countries that had kings.
解釋：許多移民北美且后來又創(chuàng)建美國政府的人都是來自有君王的國家。
Many of those kings had too much power and they abused (or used in a bad way) their power, because they knew that they would be king for their entire life.
許多君王大權在握卻濫用（或者誤用）權力，因為他們知道自己終身都是君王。
That's why, when it was time to create the new U.S. government, our Founding Fathers didn't want to have any more kings, or even a president who acted like a king.
所以在創(chuàng)建新的美國政府時，我們的國父們不希望再有國王或像國王一樣的總統(tǒng)。
They didn't want anyone to be able to become president for the rest of his or her life,
他們不希望任何人能夠當一輩子總統(tǒng)，
so they made a term of four years, meaning that a U.S. president can be president for four years and then has to be elected again.
因此他們制定了四年制任期，即美國總統(tǒng)任職四年，四年過后就要再次被選。
But how many times can a president be re-elected?
但是總統(tǒng)能夠連任多少次呢？
The original (or first and unchanged) Constitution didn't say.
最早的（或者第一部且沒有改變的）憲法未作規(guī)定。
