Yes, there have been several instances where a President of the United States chose not to run for another term. Here are a few examples:

1. George Washington (1796): He voluntarily stepped down after two terms, establishing the precedent of a two-term limit for presidents.
2. James K. Polk (1848): He promised not to seek re-election during his campaign and kept his word.
3. James Buchanan (1860): He announced he would not seek re-election due to the country’s divided political climate.
4. Woodrow Wilson (1920): He considered running for a third term but ultimately decided not to due to health issues.
5. Calvin Coolidge (1928): He surprised many by announcing he would not seek re-election, citing fatigue and a desire to return to private life.
6. Lyndon B. Johnson (1968): He announced he would not seek re-election due to growing opposition to the Vietnam War and declining political support.
7. Joseph Biden Jr (2024). He announced he would not see re-election due to growing concerns about his mental fitness and calls to step down.
