Halloween Massacre (Ford administration)
1975 American cabinet reorganization
"Halloween Massacre" is the term associated with the major reorganization of United States president Gerald Ford's cabinet on November 4, 1975,[1] which was an attempt to address multiple high-level personality and policy clashes within the administration.[2] The overhaul came at a time when the president's leadership abilities were being broadly questioned, and he was being heavily criticized by California governor Ronald Reagan and others from the nascent conservative wing of the Republican Party.[3][4]
