The pronoun "who" should be replaced with "whom" in the following sentences:

  1. "Who wants to help clean the pool so that it will be ready when summer begins?" - should be "Whom wants to help clean the pool...?" (though this is grammatically awkward, so this may not be the best example).
  2. "Who do you think should be the next president of the science club?" - should be "Whom do you think should be the next president...?"

The other sentences use "who" correctly as they refer to the subject of the clause.
