Thomas Jefferson. He was Vice President during John Adams term.
President Thomas Jefferson chose not to run for a third term in office due to his belief in the importance of limiting the power of the executive branch and preventing the establishment of a monarchy. Additionally, Jefferson wanted to set a precedent for future presidents to voluntarily step down after serving two terms, in order to uphold the principles of democracy and prevent the consolidation of power in the hands of one individual. Jefferson's decision to retire after two terms ultimately helped solidify the tradition of the two-term limit for presidents, which was later codified into law with the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution.
