Term of office

In politics, a Term of office refers to how long an elected figurehead can remain in power for a certain amount of time, usually, terms of office are set on a specific year until another election occurs for which the leadership of the country is decided upon by popular vote, some nations completely abolish the term of office concept and are leaders for life, these systems are usually found either in dictatorships or monarchies which may also share the same system to elect a new monarch, this is called an elective monarchy. There are also a certain amount of given term limits, for example, if a leader gets elected 3 times consistently each election, they must be forced to be replaced by another leader apart of the same party, in some nations such as Chemgota however, a specified term limit is not enforced, and if the leader keeps getting elected they will remain, possibly until they retire from age or is possibly overtaken by a party official during a party election.
