It is difficult to provide an exact percentage for each past president's cabinet, as the composition of the cabinet varied widely. However, it is common for presidents to appoint a mix of individuals with private sector experience, political backgrounds, and expertise in various fields to their cabinet positions. The proportion of individuals with private business sector experience in a president's cabinet can range from a few to a majority, depending on the administration's priorities and the president's ideology.
A Cabinet member does not serve a particular term of office like the President does. Cabinet members serve "at the pleasure of the President". This means that they can be fired by the President or any succeeding President at any time.
