Presidential Trivia

[minionofmidas]

What president was the last not to deliver a state of the union address.

The last one not to do so in the traditional format (ie as a written report) rather than hold a speech, if that is what you meant, was Big Bill Taft.

EDIT: lol.

Millard Fillmore lost a race for Governor.

Probably too easy, but:

Why did the early frontrunner for the 1988 Democratic nomination not win?

"Monkey Business"

Who was the longest-lived Presidential candidate? (restricting it to those who won a state)

Alf Landon I presume.

Strom Thurmond?

Correct, I believe.  Alf Landon was a centenarian, but Thurmond lived longer.

Right, I completely forgot about him. (Besides, I suppose Alf Landon was the correct answer when I cared about Presidential Trivia. )

Who was the last president to use slave labor?

"President to use" (as opposed to "have used") seems to imply while in office. While "use slave labour" is incredibly vague and certainly is not limited to having owned slaves.
Abe Lincoln, then.

Phew. I read your reply and for a second overlooked the H. [/wipes sweat off brow]
