what is the limit on running for offices?

Running for what office? You can obviously run as much as you want if you're not successfully elected. \n\nA U.S. president can only be elected for two terms total, if that's what you mean.

There are term limits.  It's called voting them out!

Depending upon the district size and composition it could take anywhere from 250,000 to millions plus.  You really need to gain party support and be able to go out and raise campaign funds from the public and individual sources.  Focus on working for and within the party, perhaps try to land a staffers job or run for a lower level office to get established.  It is not impossible but it is highly improbable at 25 unless you are independently wealthy and want to send you own money.

No, the maximum is 10 years.  8 elected and 2 from having become president from the VP position.

No he cannot.  After FDRs death in 1945.  The house and Senate passed a amendment limiting the time a person can be president.  8 Years if elected or 10 Years if the person was a vice president and the president died two years into the term and then the person ran for election.

1. Contact you state's Board of Elections to find out what the qualifications are for the post you would be seeking. This is free information so you should not be asked to pay anything other than maybe shipping if they mail you information.\n\n2. For State seats, you will need a fixed minimum of signatures from registered voters in the state. This also depends on if you're going to seek a Republican or democratic nomination or if you plan to run as an Independent. Most states will require Independents to obtain more signatures than someone running for a party nomination. As an Independent, none of the people who sign your petetion can be a registerd member of a political party and/or they can not have voted in any party's primary in the past 2 years to be eligible. If you plan to seek a party's nomination then the people who sign your petition can only be Independents who have not voted in the opposing party's primary in the past 2 years or they can be members of the party in who's nomination you seek.  It's always better to obtain the maximum allowed just in case some of the people end up being un-allowable.\n\n3. Money Money Money. You will have to pay a registration fee to get put on the ballot once you submit your petition. You will also need money to run your campaign.\n\nThere are a lot of rules that vary from state to state so take step 1 first and go from there. Just so I know, what state is this? I live in Ohio and am pretty up to par on Ohio election laws, seeing as I just campaigned for a seat on my City Council, I lost in a re-count by 45 votes :-(

There are a number of requirements, and these seem to vary depending on how you choose to run.  Check out this page at the CA Secretary of State's website.  If the answer isn't in one of the linked PDF files, I'm sure that contacting the Secretary of State's office is the way to go.

Their is no law against running for vice president after serving your 2 terms as president.  Legally you could run as vice president have the president step down and do another 4 years.

presidents used to be able to serve up to 4 terms in office  but a law was passed by congress that the president can only now serve 2 terms. Once a president has served 2 terms they can not run for another term. This does not matter if there has been another president since that last president who served 2 terms. The president who has already served 2 terms can never serve another even if that President quit office half way through the 2nd term

There is no such rule, either written or unwritten. There have only been a handful of actors or actresses that successfully run for office.

You can run for any office, save the Presidency. That is one of the perks for being an American citizen

The biggest hurdle to entering politics is money.\nNot at the local level - you can run a campaign there\nfor a few thousand dollars.\n\nBut even State Legislative races can cost 10s of thousands,\nsome State Senate races have run into the hundreds of thousands.\n\nAnd to run for Congress takes $1 million minimum. That means $10,000 every week for the two years you are serving in Congress. That's a lot of money to beg for.\n\nIf we had public financing of elections, I believe it would become a lot more attractive option for many people.

as many times as the voters elect him/her. the senate and the house do not have term limits at the federal level. \nsome states do have term limits for state senators and legislators.

I don't think there is a limit. If it is over $10,000 you will need to report it to the governement.
