Okay, one more tricky one, and then I'm finished for awhile: "There's nothing left to do but to get drunk." Which President said this after learning that his party would not nominate him for a second term?

Okay, Blaine, you're not allowed to play this game anymore. You're too good at it!

It was Franklin Pierce who said that, and he made good on it every day for the rest of his life.

Good guess, Eva! However, it was not Richard Nixon as his remains were flown to California.
