- Length: The President of Mexico serves a single six-year term (commonly called a "sexenio").
- Re-election restriction: Re-election is constitutionally prohibited — a president may not be elected to the office again, either immediately or at any later time. In practice that means one and only one six-year term for any person who serves as President.
- Legal basis and context: The prohibition is written into Mexico’s Constitution (the rule is often cited in Article 83 of the 1917 Constitution as amended) and reflects the post‑Revolution principle of “no re-election” established to prevent long-term personal rule. Constitutional reforms that have allowed re‑election for legislators and some local offices have not removed the presidential ban.
(If you want, I can quote the constitutional language or summarize how vacancies and interim presidents are handled.)
