Harding Cabinet
Warren G. Harding served as President of the United States for 881 days - the shortest term of any US president elected in the 20th century. With his victory in 1920 , the Republican replaced the no longer running Democrat Woodrow Wilson . After his death in August 1923, Vice President Calvin Coolidge succeeded him.
In view of the shortness of Harding's term of office, personnel changes within the cabinet remained the exception. New ministers were only appointed in the Interior Ministry and in the Post Office, which was re-appointed twice.
