Should I use who or whom in this sentence?
- The main problem of Argentina comes from whom has taken office.
My logic
I know that whom is an object pronoun, that whom has taken the office is the object, and that The main problem of Argentina is the subject.
I also know that who can be replaced with subject pronouns such as he, she, they and whom with object pronouns like him, her, them.
My confusion comes from the fact that I can replace it both ways:
- Argentina has a problem. It comes from him.
Here Him replaces whom has taken office.
- Argentina has a problem. He has taken office.
Here He replaces who.
My second question
That leads to my second question: can you use whom and who interchangeably when it’s the object?
