Jefferson abandoned Washington's Precedent.

When did Jefferson run for a third term?

I thought the issue was giving the State of the Union address in person or sending over a written message. Teddy Roosevelt was elected only once. His first term, filling out McKinley’s term, was 3 and a half years so he said he wouldn’t run again in 1908. Obviously he changed his mind in 1912 with disastrous results (the election of Woodrow Wilson). But Grant earlier had tried to get a third term.
