Official Announcement Yet to Declared

Following Tuesday's vote, Donald Trump stated that he is "very confident" that he will regain the White House following his ballot-casting in Florida on Election Day in one of the most controversial US elections in decades.

How is American System Different than India?

Unlike India where the chosen government works for a period of five years, the tenure of the US President is only 4 years. 

It is also stated in the American Constitution that a person can be elected U.S. President a maximum of two times, allowing them to serve for up to 8 years. This rule was established by the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prevents anyone from being elected President more than twice.

Unlike the United States, India has no term limits for the Prime Minister or President. The same person can hold these positions multiple times, as long as they have enough political support.
