Although some of Harding's cabinet appointees were scandal-tarred, Coolidge initially retained all of them out of conviction that as successor to a deceased elected president, he was obligated to retain Harding's counselors and policies until the next election. He kept Harding's speechwriter [[Judson T. Welliver]]. Stuart Crawford replaced Welliver in November 1925.{{sfn|Greenberg|2006|pp=48–49}} Coolidge appointed [[C. Bascom Slemp]], a Virginia Congressman and experienced federal politician, to work jointly with Edward T. Clark, a Massachusetts Republican organizer whom he retained from his vice-presidential staff, as [[Secretary to the President (United States)|Secretaries to the President]], a position equivalent to the modern [[White House Chief of Staff]].{{sfn|Fuess|1940|pp=320–322}}

Perhaps the most powerful person in Coolidge's cabinet was Secretary of the Treasury [[Andrew Mellon]], who controlled the administration's financial policies and was regarded by many, including House Minority Leader [[John Nance Garner]], as more powerful than Coolidge himself.{{sfn|Rusnak|1983|pp=270–271}} Commerce Secretary [[Herbert Hoover]] also held a prominent place in the cabinet, in part because Coolidge found value in Hoover's ability to win positive publicity with his pro-business proposals.{{sfn|Polsky|Tkacheva|2002|pp=224–227}} 

Secretary of State [[Charles Evans Hughes]] directed Coolidge's foreign policy until he resigned in 1925 following Coolidge's reelection. He was replaced by [[Frank B. Kellogg]], who had previously served as a senator and ambassador to Great Britain. Coolidge made two other appointments after his reelection: [[William M. Jardine]] as Secretary of Agriculture and [[John G. Sargent]] as Attorney General.{{sfn|Greenberg|2006|pp=111–112}} Coolidge had no vice president during his first term. [[Charles Dawes]] became vice president during Coolidge's second term, and Dawes and Coolidge clashed over farm policy and other issues.{{sfn|Senate Historian|2014}}
