Presidents not renominated
Millard Fillmore (13th President) could not be renominated in 1852 because the Whig Party had dissolved and he did not want to join the Republican Party.
Franklin Pierce (14th President) was abandoned by the Democrats in 1856 in favor of James Buchanan. This was partly due to unfavorable opinion of his foreign policy, including a proposal to annex Cuba.
James Buchanan (15th President) was a victim of the North-South split of the Democratic party in 1860, with John C. Breckenridge nominated by the Southern faction and Stephen Douglas by the Northern faction. This led to the victory of Republican Abraham Lincoln.
Andrew Johnson (17th President), a War Democrat, was elected with Lincoln in 1864, after the Radical Republicans nominated John C. Fremont. Johnson was nominated by no party in 1868. He ran instead for the US Senate in Tennessee.
Chester Alan Arthur (21st President) succceeded to the office as the Vice president of James Garfield, and after a half-hearted effort lost the nomination in 1888 to James G. Blaine.
Presidents who did not seek renomination (3)
James K. Polk (11th President) was the surprise victor over Henry Clay in 1844 and had promised to serve only one term.
Rutherford B. Hayes (19th President) had promised to serve only one term.
Lyndon B. Johnson (31st President), although eligible at the time to run for a third term in 1968, declined to do so, mostly because of the Vietnam War. Hubert Humphrey, his Vice President, was beaten by Republican Richard Nixon.
