William Pulteney, 1st Earl of Bath, earned a footnote in British history for serving, under George II, the shortest-ever term as (kinda sorta) Prime Minster.
Starting on Feb. 10, 1746, Pulteney's "term" lasted all of "48 hours, three quarters, seven minutes, and eleven seconds."
However, as this brief-lived governmental slate was never officially ratified, some quibble that Pulteney was never, technically, PM.
