I don't understand what you are asking.

The term of office for the president of the USA is four years, if that's what you are asking, but I don't think it is.

I'd say about three times a month, someone wants to know how to ask "How manieth was he?" and that word just doesn't exist.

"What number president was he?" This is as close as you will get, even if the answer to that is technically "44," because you'll still get "He was the 16th president" (or whatever president he was).

I don't think you can. Why do you want to?

You can ask: "Is this President Obama's first term?"

Answer: "No, it's his only term."
