The second cabinet led by Khaled Chehab was formed under President Camille Chamoun on 30 September 1952.[1][2] Its establishment occurred in the aftermath of the 1952 crisis in Lebanon.[3] The cabinet was not only given confidence vote, but also power to enforce laws via decree-laws to reform the Lebanese administrative and legislative bodies until February 1953.[4][5]
The period of the cabinet was brief, and it was dissolved on 30 April 1953.[2][6][7] Saeb Salam was given the task to form the next cabinet.[4]
