∙ 12y agoThe presidents that were elected once, ran for re-election and lost were John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Martin Van Buren, William Howard Taft, George H. W. Bush and Jimmy Carter. Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan were elected once but did not get a nomination for a second term. Gerald Ford was the un-elected incumbent, was nominated for another term but lost. Unelected incumbents who made an effort to be nominated but were not nominated for another term were Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, and Chester Arthur. John Tyler would probably have liked to get a nomination but he had been expelled from his party and faced a hopeless situation. James Polk and Rutherford Hayes did not seek re-election.
