If an incumbent president is willing and qualified to run for reelection, his party does not contest his nomination, most likely because of the message that would be interpreted if the party does not support its incumbent president. However, that was not always the case. Before the Civil War, several incumbent presidents, including Franklin Pierce in 1856, sought but did not receive their parties' nominations for president.

The nomination process ultimately depends on the internal politics and dynamics within the party.

It's happened several times. Most recently in 1980 when Ted Kennedy challenged the incumbent President Jimmy Carter. Kennedy fought all the way to the convention. The last sitting Republican President to be seriously challenged was Gerald Ford in 1976 by . . . future President Ronald Reagan. Reagan also fought all the way to the convention. Notably, in both of these cases, the challenged President managed to earn his Party's nomination but was unsuccessful in the general election.
