Interesting question. “Who” and “whoever” are subjective pronouns; “whom” and “whomever” are in the objective case. As simple and important as that distinction is, many people have difficulty deciding on the proper usage of “who” and “whom” in sentences. The two sentences below illustrate the easy usage in which “who” is clearly the subject and “whom” is clearly the object. In such simple cases, virtually everyone can determine the proper choice: Who is that man that is pressing his penis up against the bus window? (“Who” / subject.) The men, four of whom had explosive diarrhea, all ate at the same nasty Mexican restaurant. (“whom” / object)

Does that answer your question?
