The United States Cabinet serves as the main advisory group
to the president. Meetings typically occur in a room next to the Oval Office,
with the president presiding—though not officially a member.
Comprising 26 individuals, including the vice president, 15
department heads, and 10 Cabinet-level officials (most requiring Senate
confirmation), each member's seating reflects their department's establishment
date.
Cabinet members serve at the discretion of the president and
can be dismissed without Senate approval. While they may wield certain powers
over their departments independently, doing so against presidential wishes is
rare due to potential job loss.
Notably, while implied by Article II of the Constitution for
providing counsel, there’s no explicit mention of a Cabinet. The Twenty-fifth
Amendment further allows for joint declarations on presidential incapacity
involving executive department heads.
