Steve, as Mike said, none became President. But I didn't explicitly exclude they actually were candidates rather than just being considered - I didn't want to make it too easy (and this is something that could well be approached by yes/no questions...)

Good question, Roger. No, none was a witness, but the remaining two played an active role on the legal side.

Hint #3: I suggest to ask more y/n questions to specify what legal side.
(Roger - I, too, found it a great and very welcome challenge in my Xmas break right because it is not a Google-one-click-thing but requires real research. Yet it should be possible for anyone as the names are well known here.)
