Fundamental Counting Principle: Multiply together the number of choices there are for each event.

In this example, the two events are choosing a president and choosing a secretary; note that either one can be done first.

(1) How many choices are there for the first officer elected?
(2) Assuming the other officer has to be a different person, how many choices are there for the second officer?

Multiply together the two answers from (1) and (2).
