Millard Fillmore became the 13th President of the United States, succeeding Zachary Taylor, who died in office on July 10, 1850. In the Election of 1854, Millard Fillmore sought, but was not nominated, the Whig candidacy.

Living in the White House is not easy for most people. Fillmore was thrust into the presidency by the sudden death of President Taylor. The slavery issue was a major problem which had no apparent solution. Fillmore's wife was in poor health and frequently bed-ridden. So, I would guess that Fillmore's like in the White House left something to be desired. However, he did consent to make another run for the presidency, so maybe it was not so bad to live in the White House, or maybe he knew he would be elected and wanted to make a political by running.

Millard Fillmore's retirement began at the end of the presidential term he completed, on March 3, 1853. However, he came out of retirement to run for President in 1856. He had been the last U.S. President of the Whig Party, but that party had divided into several groups. He ran as a nominee of the Free Soil Party, one of the splinter groups of the former Whig Party, against Democrat James Buchanan and Republican John C. Frémont. That was the only time that Millard Fillmore ran for President, and he received eight electoral votes.

President Millard Fillmore was a Whig and sought to be nominated by the Whigs for the 1852 US presidential election. His attempt was blocked by members of his own party. Northern anti-slavery Whigs used their power to have General Winfield Scott be the Whig candidate. Scott lost the 1852 election to Democrat Franklin Pierce.
I remember them all, but those who were never elected , served less than a full term and did not run for another term would seem to be the most forgettable. These people are John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson and Chester Arthur. You might add Gerald Ford, but he ran for president and you might take away Millard Fillmore who made a run as a third party candidate that may have tipped an election. Andrew Johnson served in memorable times and had a tumultuous administration which makes him less forgettable. In most polls taken of "experts" in the field of the Presidency, the president who tends to turn up dead last as an effective president is James Buchanan, also making him very "forgettable".
No. In fact, he was not able to get his party's nomination to run for another term, eventually losing out to Winfield Scott.
