Please verfy that he indeed ran for president only 2 times. --Jiang 00:33, 15 Aug 2003 (UTC)
- He did, 96 and 2000.
- I concur. He did both in 96 and 00
- I definitely remember him running in 1996. I did not take notice of the 2000 campaign until weeks before the election. So could someone add that in the article as I am sure they are more people who know about his presidential campaigns than I do. --The Shadow Treasurer 03:35, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
- Added presidential-run information: I don't know a whole lot about it, but I was able to put together two paragraphs with enough information that readers at least are AWARE of the candidacies. (I was as surprised as any of you to find no mention of them!)Lawikitejana 02:28, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removed from "lawyers" subcategory
I temporarilly removed this article from Category:American lawyers because the article and his linked home page don't appear to make any reference to him actually practicing law. (There's plenty about his political career, but nothing about actually being a lawyer.)
I'm not saying he isn't a lawyer; I'm just saying it's never mentioned or verified in the article. Once this info is included with an appropriate citation, then go ahead and place it under Category:Tennessee lawyers, assuming he practiced law in Tennessee.Dugwiki 21:18, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] IRS and NAACP
I have removed the paragraph about this. Although the Washington Post did indeed report this on September 1, 2006, it later corrected itself (see here). As such, the information, while properly sourced, was inaccurate and trumped by a later source. Danny 14:38, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Junior Senator
Just so people don't make the silly mistake I did... Alexander is still the junior senator until January when Frist leaves. Isquitenice 06:18, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Utilized Tennessee church non-profit status to obtain liquor license for business
I removed this paragraph, originally added by 4.88.154.204. It looks to be copypasta from somebody's copy of a long-dead forum post. If somebody can track down the original article and rewrite this as unplagiarized content, that would be keen. Bigwyrm 02:11, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
