Here's my first question: who was TR's vice president?  Before you answer, I will say that contrary to popular misconception,  it was NOT Taft.

Absolutely right!!!  Now, for bonus points, after he was TR's veep, he ran for Vice President again on the Republican ticket with which Presidential candidate?  (All the better if you can give both the candidate and the year!)

The 1916 Republican Party ticket of Charles Evans Hughes of New York and Charles Fairbanks of Indiana.

Who was the first black president of the United States of America?
Hahaha, just kidding!  You didn't think it would be that easy did you?

Okay here's one:
Who was the first person of Jewish ancestry to run for President of the United States?

On major party ticket? I guess Barry Goldwater.

From all tickets? No clue.

According to wikipedia Kalwejt, you are exactly right!
Barry Morris Goldwater, "Mr. Conservative" was the first Jewish American to run for president, on a major party ticket.

I googled lawsuits between these men and nothing came up to match it. These may very well be correct answers and if you know that they are please tell me.

As for the first question:

I will give a hint. The president met his future Interior Secretary while stationed in Detroit, Michigan.

The basic idea of this thread is that you answer the Presidential Election trivia question asked by the previous poster.  I'll get it started:

Who was the Progressive Party VP nominee in 1912?

Easy one, Hiram Johnson of California.

Now for my question, in what year did Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. loose to Kennedy for a Massachusetts senate seat?

You didn't read it correctly. You were suppose to answer the question above! Bloody Hell.

1952 was the year Henry Cabot Lodge Junior lost to John F. Kennedy.

In 1946, Richard Nixon won California's 12th Congressional District seat, who did he defeat?

Jerry Voorhis. Who was a five term incumbent.

Are you going to ask another question?

Oh, yes sorry.

In what year did Ronald Reagan formally switch from the democratic party to the republican party?
officially in 1962.
Regan became a republican.who was ted kenedy"s first opponent in his run for senator?

Rooney, my guess was based on something in a history book that had WHT going up against Gifford Pinchot. It was just a guess, and as I suspected, he wasn't the Interior Secretary:

It goes on to discussing Pinchot having someone sue Ballinger, blah blah blah, etc. But not a correct guess. I'll be looking though.

Speaker McCormack's son, whose first name escapes me at the moment. Joseph I believe.

He was McCormack's nephew, not son and, I believe, served as MA Attorney General.

My turn.

The last former slaveholder to become President? (as opposed to the last one, who owned slaves while in office)

Probably Ulysses S. Grant.  His father-in-law was a slaveowner who left his daughter four slave and him one slave when he died.
