He became Prime Minister the first time by succeeding Robert Borden as leader of the Conservative party and the Unionist party upon Borden's resignation in 1920. His second term began when he was appointed as Prime Minister by Governor General Julian Byng after the resignation of William Lyon Mackenzie King in the fallout from the King-Byng affair. However, his government was defeated in a no confidence vote when King rallied enough Progressive party support to oust the government after only three days.

∙ 10y agoThe Right Honourable Arthur Meighen P.C., Q.C., served two terms as Prime Minister of Canada.
July 10, 1920 - December 29, 1921
Meighen took the reins of the Government of Canada (as leader of the Conservative and Unionist Parties) following the resignation of the Right Honourable Sir Robert Borden P.C., G.C.M.G., K.C.; he assumed the remainder of Sir Robert's mandate. Meighen's response to the Winnipeg General Strike was unpopular, and resulted in an electoral defeat for the Government -- and a personal defeat in his own electoral district.
June 29, 1926 - September 25, 1926
Meighen was invited to form a Government by Field Marshal the Right Honourable The Viscount Byng of Vimy G.C.B., G.C.M.G., M.V.O., D.C.O. (then the Governor General). Meighen and his Government were defeated in the House of Commons days later, and the Government was conclusively defeated in the general election that followed.
Meighen is acknowledged as one of the least-accomplished Prime Ministers.
