Why does the American people need 2.5 years to choose and elect a new President?

We can see that both France and the UK had elections this month. I didn't even know that the old governments had fallen, it was not covered so well in the media, but now that both countries rejected the far right propaganda, they have new leaders. It took only two months to choose and elect new leaders, and they take power right the next day. Amazing.

I must be missing something. Where did 2 1/2 years come from?

@AmbiePam Not sure, I wondered that myself.

What? Where did that idea come from? Two and a half years is a strange number for someone to come up with.

I do not know a lot of the UK elections, but I know that the French President Macron announced slap election after EU poll defeat. My husband told me yesterday that I am surely wrong and it cannot take so long to choose and elect a new President in the US...MEN!
