you're both wrong, but you're both on the right track. Yes, Amendment 22 does state that:
1) no one can serve more than 2 terms, and
2) no one serving more than 2 years of someone else's elected presidency can be elected more than once on their own accord.
so, through a simple arithmetical process, you will easily discover:
2 years as a Veep promoted to Prez + 2 terms as an elected president= 12 years total, the maximum number of total years you could, technically, be president.
points will, however, be awarded to anybody who can pick out the insanely easy movie reference in this post.

Ummm.... lets go over a few issues here.
A standard term in office is 4 years.
4+4=8 There is 8 years.
Add 2 more for this Veep business.
8+2=10 Now you have 10 years. So I'm not sure where your random 12 comes from.
And this is based on the current interpretation of the as you being allowed to hold it 2 years and still be electable for 2 terms, which i believe to be kind of shaky.
