Tsao Kun's short presidency began in October 1923, after he openly bribed the National Assembly members with $5,000 in silver dollars to gain the office. This blatant act of corruption resulted in rival factions turning against him, with Tsao Kun eventually being ousted in a coup led by General Feng Yuxiang in October 1924.
