The mayor of New York City serves a four-year term and can be re-elected, with a limit of two consecutive terms. This means a maximum of eight years in office before a break is required, though a former mayor could potentially run again after sitting out a term. Key points:
- Term length: 4 years per term
- Term limit: 2 consecutive terms
- After two consecutive terms, serving again would require a non-consecutive break before a possible third term
If you’d like, I can pull up the exact NYC Charter language or provide a brief history of how term limits for NYC mayors have changed over time.
