At the federal level, it was probably President Zachary Taylor in 1849. The Whig party operated in the USA during the period from the 1830s to the mid-1850s. It was briefly influential, but by the mid-1850s, it was almost totally defunct. The last Whig to serve as a US president was Millard Fillmore, from 1850-1853; he was not elected to that office, however. He was Zachary Taylor's vice president and assumed the presidency when Taylor (also a Whig) suddenly died. In 1851, Fillmore appointed the only Whig Supreme Court Justice, Benjamin R. Curtis.In the United States, the last member of the Whig Party to be elected to the office of US President was Millard Filmore. He was the 13th US President and served from 1850 to 1853.

What does the phrase Washington would set precedent mean?
This is a hard question to answer because it's pretty vague. It would be helpful to have some context. But here's some help for you: To "set a precedent" means to do something that other people will be likely to follow when they are faced with similar situations in years to come. So, for example, when the Supreme Court ruled that states couldn't outlaw abortion (Roe v Wade, 1973) they set a precedent and other courts have tended to follow that precedent. If your question refers to George Washington, I'd guess the precedent he set was to not run for reelection to a third term as president. When he did that, he set a precedent and presidents after him followed that precedent because it had been set down by Washington, who was, of course, a hero. No president ran for a third term until Franklin D. Roosevelt did in 1940. I hope this helps.
