26.We elect a President for how many years?
26.我们选出的总统任职几年?
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.
解释:许多移民北美且后来又创建美国政府的人都是来自有君王的国家 。
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.
许多君王大权在握却滥用(或者误用)权力,因为他们知道自己终身都是君王 。
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.
所以在创建新的美国政府时,我们的国父们不希望再有国王或像国王一样的总统 。
They didn't want anyone to be able to become president for the rest of his or her life,
他们不希望任何人能够当一辈子总统,
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.
因此他们制定了四年制任期,即美国总统任职四年,四年过后就要再次被选 。
But how many times can a president be re-elected?
但是总统能够连任多少次呢?
The original (or first and unchanged) Constitution didn't say.
最早的(或者第一部且没有改变的)宪法未作规定 。
