What is the job of the presidential cabinet members?

Answer 1

The purpose of the Presidential Cabinet is to advise the President on matters relating to their individual departments of offices. At present, the Cabinet is made up of heads of 15 departments. The heads of some of these departments include the Secretary of Labor, Vice President, Attorney General, and Secretary of Homeland Security.

Answer 2

Each of the fifteen cabinet members is the head of one of the main departments of the federal government. They also give the President advice when called upon and keep the President informed about matters that are related to their departments. Some of the departments are specifically charged with gathering information that the president and the government needs to know.

Answer 3

The cabinet is made up of the heads of the 15 major department of the executive branch of government . The vice-president and UN ambassador are sometimes included. The departments of state, justice, treasury, defense and perhaps homeland security are especially important and the operations and policies of these departments reflect seriously on the President. Some of the lesser departments pretty well run themselves through permanent civil service employees so the position of cabinet secretary over them is largely ceremonial.

In years past the cabinet played an important advisory role for the President.

and weekly cabinet meetings with the President would be held. My understanding is that President Obama has held only one cabinet meeting in the past three years. Although he meets with the important cabinet members from time to time, he mostly relies on his large White House staff for advice.

The Constitution does not directly mention a "Cabinet," but the Constitutional authority for a Cabinet is found in Article II, Section 2. The Constitution states that the President "may require the opinion, in writing of the principle officer in each of the executive departments, upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offices." The Constitution does not say which or how many executive departments should be created.
