True.

Explanation:

The 26th President of the United States of America, Theodore Roosevelt was in office from 1901 to 1909, holding it consecutively for two terms. His presidency was also due to the assassination of the then president William Mckinley. Determined to be the president on his own terms and will, he contested the next presidential election in 1904, winning it and getting his second term.

After his term got over, he decided not to contest the election again, believing that holding office for two terms is enough. He instead offered his support behind his chosen successor William Howard Taft. But once Taft became the President and did not seem to follow his predecessor's plans, choosing his own ministers and other issues led to Roosevelt reconsidering his decision to contest the Presidential election. In the election of 1912, the Democratic party nominee Woodrow Wilson won the election, ending Roosevelt's plans of another term in office.
