In a way this is what happened in 1912. Former President Theodore Roosevelt, who was elected as a Republican Vice President in 1900 and as a Republican President in 1904, tried to get the nomination in 1912, but when he failed to get it, he ran as a third party candidate against the incumbent Republican president William Howard Taft. Both were defeated by Democrat Woodrow Wilson.
