(A shameless reinterpretation of a thread title.)

Given that the United States establishes a presidential system fundamentally similar to ours, is it reasonable to expect that at some point a former president would successfully take back the office? Or was OTL's 1892 election a fluke that could never happen within the expected range of political climates?

Obviously, the election of 1888 was an unusual circumstance that set up the necessary conditions for a nonconsecutive term. But, in over two hundred years of history, is it actually implausible to suggest that such inconclusive results probably wouldn't happen?
