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.
