Regular Question: The Q specifies TWO men, but, in addition to Davis, there were actually 3 other men who served in the cabinet for the "entire war" :
1. Judah Benjamin: Attorney General (February 25, 1861 – November 15, 1861), Secretary of War (September 17, 1861 – March 24, 1862) , Secretary of State (March 18, 1862 – May 10, 1865)
2. John H Reagan: Postmaster General (March 6, 1861 – May 10, 1865) and Secretary of the Treasury (April 27, 1865 – May 10, 1865)
3. Alexander Stephens: Vice President (February 11, 1861 – February 22, 1862 provisional & February 22, 1862 – May 11, 1865)
I have excluded Secretary of the Navy, Stephen Russell Mallory, who resigned May 2/3 1865, prior to the official dissolution. That leaves Benjamin, Reagan, and Stephens with positions above. If I must answer with just two names, I will assume, since you are excluding Davis, you are also excluding Vice President Alexander Stephens, leaving Judah Benjamin and John H Reagan.
