During the 1992 presidential debates, Ross Perot mentioned that should he be elected, he would only serve one term, saying and I quote:
"If the American people send me up to do this job, I intend to be there one term. I do not intend to spend one minute of one day thinking about re-election."
So let's say that somehow, Perot does the unthinkable and wins the election. Of course, he could change his mind and run again, but I doubt it considering it would only paint him as a liar and a hypocrite considering he criticized Bush for increasing taxes after promising not to. So if he doesn't stand for reelection, what does the 1996 election look like? who do the Republicans and Democrats nominate for the position? If the Reform party still exists, who runs for its nomination if Perot is out of the picture? Who would be the ultimate winner of the election?
