I don't think that qualifies, though, because he wasn't actively seeking the nomination. He was propping up Taft as his successor by that point.

ETA: I think it was Chester Arthur - is that correct?

Sorry, you are both wrong.

Millard Fillmore?

I don't know if I remember that whole scenario correctly, but it's worth a shot.

Not to be picky, but I looked it up, and it appears he was a sitting president who kept himself in the running for the nomination, but was not nominated for a second term.

^^^ Yeah, your answer is right. I think mine is, too, meaning that there were at least 2 sitting presidents not nominated by their respective parties for a 2nd term.

^^

Okay, I will accept both. I had always been told that Franklin Pierce was the only president not renominated by his party.

"By the end of his administration, Pierce could claim "a peaceful condition of things in Kansas." But, to his disappointment, the Democrats refused to renominate him, turning to the less controversial Buchanan. Pierce returned to New Hampshire, leaving his successor to face the rising fury of the sectional whirlwind. He died in 1869. "

So we have 3 - Pierce, Arthur, and Fillmore.

Next?

Here's an easy one: Who's the only President with four syllables in his surname?

Eisenhower?

Yes - feel free to ask a question.

Who was the first president to be inaugurated in Washington?

Has to be Jefferson.

Yep, it's Jefferson.

Keeping up with the Jeffersonian trend, since his wife died prior to his becoming President, who acted as his hostess (the term "First Lady" had yet to be coined)?

Dolly Madison I think?

Yes, it was she. Go ahead!
