His cabinet started on August 17, 1905. It consisted of 5 liberal, 2 democratic, and 2 party-less ministers. It had no majority in either of the two Dutch chambers, and earned the nickname: 'porcelain cabinet'.
Formateur mr. H. Goeman Borgesius took 32 days to form the cabinet.
A law on labour contract was realised. His suggestions to reduce the cost of defence got no support.
In December 1907 the defence budget for 1908 was rejected by the second chamber, after which the cabinet resigned. It remained as a demissionair till February 12, 1908.
Theodoor Herman deMeester (Harderwijk, 16 December 1851 - The Hague, 27 December 1919) (union-liberal) was Prime Minister of the Netherlands and Finance Minister from 1905 to 1908.
DeMeester was the son of Gerrit Abraham deMeester (1817-1864), who had been a member of the Dutch parliament for the Zwolle constituency from 1862 to 1864.
A former administrator in the Dutch East Indies, DeMeester's cabinet was inaugurated on August 17, 1905.
Meester said he has heard it said that a person is more likely to get struck by lightning twice than make it as a professional athlete.
Meester answered several questions from the students assembled in the gym as well as talking about his path to the NFL-a path Meester probably didn't envision taking when he was growing up.
Meester would come to love the sport in which he was a first-team district selection as a linebacker during his junior year and a first-team selection as an offensive lineman his senior year.
