    Explanation
    The President is elected for a term of four years. This allows for a reasonable amount of time for the President to implement their policies and fulfill their responsibilities. It also provides stability and continuity in governance, as it ensures that the President has enough time to carry out their agenda and address any ongoing issues or challenges. Additionally, a four-year term allows for regular elections, giving the citizens the opportunity to evaluate the President's performance and make a decision on whether to re-elect them or choose a new leader.
