Will there ever be another president with non-consecutive terms?

[The Hack Hater]

Too damn hard to answer. The problem is, there is this common perception that of a president quits, he should stay retired. The only reason Grover Cleveland won in 1892 was probably because his loss had been so close last time. So we would likely have to have another close loss where the losing candidate isn't entirely hated.

When you take into account how polarized the US has tended to become after recent presidential elections, certainly. We'd have to feel the defeated incumbent was doing a somewhat good job before we'd give him another chance, and I doubt there'd be a big enough percentage of the recently-seated party's electorate willing to vote for the former president, even if the incumbent in office at the time managed to somehow screw up, look at Bush's approval among Republicans if you don't believe me.
