He became president in 1945 and was reelected in 1948.

Harry Truman ran for president once, in 1948.

He was elected Vice President in 1944 and assumed the presidency in 1945 upon the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Although he was not subject to the new 22nd Amendment, which, in part, limits the number of times a person who served at least half of a term to which he was not elected can be elected president to one, he chose not to run in 1952.

To date (2012) there has been only one president since Truman who was eligible for reelection but chose not to run: Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968.
