He was only ever elected President once. He was elected Vice President and became President when William McKinley was assassinated. After finishing out McKinley's term, he was elected. He then chose not to run again, essentially hand-picking William Howard Taft to be the Republican presidential candidate. Taft was elected but Roosevelt did not like the way he was running the country and decided to run for President again in 1912, but lost.
