Three presidents served only one full term but were elected to second terms which they could not complete . - Abraham Lincoln and William McKinley served only a few weeks or months of their second terms before being assassinated, and Richard M Nixon, resigned 19 months into his second term.
Five Presidents - William H Harrison, Zachary Taylor, James A. Garfield, Warren G Harding, and John F. Kennedy - died during their first terms and so had no opportunity to seek a second.
Five Presidents - John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, Chester A. Arthur, and Gerald Ford - succeeded from the Vice-Presidency but did not win elected terms of their own and so actually served less than one term.
That gives 29 Presidents who were "single-termers" by one definition or another.
Of those 29 U. S. Presidents, the following ten were candidates in more than one presidential election but won only once:
John Adams (won in 1796; lost in 1800)
John Quincy Adams (won in 1824; lost in 1828)
Martin Van Buren (won in 1836; lost in 1840 and 1848)
William Henry Harrison (lost in 1836; won in 1840; see 3rd note above)
Benjamin Harrison (won in 1888; lost in 1892)
Theodore Roosevelt (won in 1904; lost in 1912; see 1st note above)
William Howard Taft (won in 1908; lost in 1912)
Herbert Hoover (won in 1928; lost in 1932)
Jimmy Carter (won in 1976; lost in 1980)
George H. W. Bush (won in 1988; lost in 1992)
In 1856, incumbent President Franklin Pierce sought but failed to win the Democratic Party nomination, which went to James Buchanan.
