Presidents, Vice Presidents, Cabinet Members, Supreme Court Justices, 1789-2003


Book Description

This is a paperback reprint of a 2003 revised and updated edition of an earlier work titled Public Office Index (1985). There are hundreds of books about the presidents, but information on people who have been integral parts of those presidents’ administrations is often difficult to find. This reference work contains complete vital and official data—through February 2003—about the 42 men who had served as president, the 46 who served as vice-president, the 539 men and women Cabinet members and the 109 men and women Supreme Court justices, since the beginning of the republic.
