Best Answer

He became president in 1945 and was reelected in 1948.

Harry Truman ran for president once, in 1948.

He was elected Vice President in 1944 and assumed the presidency in 1945 upon the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Although he was not subject to the new 22nd Amendment, which, in part, limits the number of times a person who served at least half of a term to which he was not elected can be elected president to one, he chose not to run in 1952.

To date (2012) there has been only one president since Truman who was eligible for reelection but chose not to run: Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968.

A person can only serve in office for president for 2 terms with a total of 8 years. Regan ran for the office twice. Once for his first term and a second time for a second term. Until a person wins the office he/she can run as many times they wish.

What was William Taft's political platform?

while Taft was in office he, unlike teddy roosevelt, used the justice department to prosecute and bust up trusts. roosevelt had used his force of personality and meetings that he organized to bust up specific trusts that he wanted gone. Taft delegated the responsibility to those in the justice department. therefore there were atleast four times as many anti-trust lawsuits under Taft than roosevelt. Also he allowed the first bill on a nationwide income tax to pass through congress. He also let bills that allow for state refferendums and the recall of elected officials pass through congress.
