How many incumbent presidents lost 2nd election?

How many men became president of the US without having been elected?
There have been nine Presidents who did not win a presidential election before becoming President including four who won presidential elections after becoming President. The Vice Presidents who replaced the first four Presidents to die in office never won a presidential election. The Vice Presidents who replaced the other four Presidents who died in office won re-election at the ends of the terms in which they assumed office. Gerald Ford, however, was appointed to the vice presidency after Vice President Agnew resigned in 1973, and he ascended to the presidency when President Nixon resigned in 1974. He ran for re-election in 1976 but lost to Jimmy Carter, so he never won either a presidential election OR a vice-presidential election.

What happened if the president will have only four years in his terms?
Actually, all U.S. presidents serve a four-year term (the only exception would be if they died before their term ended, or if they were removed for some crime). A president who has served one term can run for office again and perhaps get re-elected. Barack Obama served his first four years-- he was elected in 2008. Then, he ran for re-election in 2012 and won. So he is serving two terms, eight years total. But perhaps you are asking whether there are presidents who only served four years. Yes, there have been some presidents who ran for re-election and lost-- to cite two examples, Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush only served one term of four years.
