What is the length of a US representative's elected term?

  1. 6 years

  2. 2 years

  3. 4 years

  4. 8 years

The correct answer is: 2 years

A representative's term of office is 2 years. This is outlined in Article 1, Section 2 of the US Constitution, which states that representatives shall serve for a term of two years. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the length of a representative's term as stated in the Constitution. Option A, 6 years, is the length of a US senator's term. Option C, 4 years, is the length of a US president's term. Option D, 8 years, is the maximum number of years a person can serve as president, but is not the length of a representative's term.
