A term of office is the legal limit on the time someone can serve in a political position before re-election. In some countries, the terms for some offices can be indefinite, because elections can be called by parliament before the legal time limit of the term is expired. However, since one person can be re-elected, and hold office for more than one term, I would use the plural form or say &quot;term or terms of office&quot;http://www.englishforums.com/English/TermOfficeTermsOffice/jbbbh/post.htmSat, 30 May 2009 20:36:37 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:756915Anonymous1http://www.englishforums.com/English/TermOfficeTermsOffice/jbbbh/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-756915.xmlHello , I was wondering if someone could help me with the following : Political figures are not always responsible for policies enacted during their terms of office .
