There is indeed a difference between an elected president and a non-elected president; for instance, an elected president can truly form their own President's Cabinet, rather than continuing with the previous president's cabinet.
The unexpected resignation of the previous president was surprising enough, so for the sake of the Federation's stability, it was naturally impossible to immediately change the personnel in important state positions.
Adding to the special circumstances at that time, almost all of the cabinet ministers were from the Conservative Party.
Of course, to cooperate with the President's work, these ministers, if possible, would try not to linger around the President.
The President had no good solution for these people, much like he wanted to place Mr. Truman in an important position to solve some work-related problems for him.
But because he was not the elected president, he couldn't do so.
