Grover Cleveland, the 22nd and 24th American President, is the only American president to return as the country's leader after suffering a defeat in the elections at the end of his first term. In total, he ran for eight years. His first tenure was between 1885 and 1888 and his second was between 1893 and 1897.
One of the reasons why he ran again was that he lost so closely, and some say unfairly, to Benjamin Harrison in the 1888 elections. He won the popular vote by more than 90,000, but lost a narrowly fought electoral vote. On his return in 1892, he won "the most decisive victory in twenty years."
Initially a bachelor when he was first elected in 1885, he is the first president to get married in the White House.
