Presidents Who Chose to Serve Only One Term

Here's a rundown of the few United States presidents who voluntarily served only one term - as opposed to most single term presidents who simply failed to get re-elected. PATREON:   / resyndicated   Throughout the majority of U.S. history, Presidents have typically sought reelection, viewing a second term as an opportunity to continue their policies and fulfill their political agenda. Various Presidents never sought a second term due to tragic events that prevented them from running again; however there are several Presidents who chose to serve only one term. Some pledged a single term to strengthen party unity, limit executive power, or simply because of a terrible approval rating. Others made this choice due to personal reasons like advancing age or health concerns. Changing political landscapes and shifts in public opinion played a role as well in some cases, as was the case after Andrew Jackson’s presidency. 0:00 Introduction 0:21 William Henry Harrison 2:14 James K.
