secretary
The president's advisors are the members of his Cabinet. Some of the members of the Cabinet are the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, The Secretary of Defense, and the Attorney General.
Some of the members of President Obama's cabinet are Joseph Biden, John Kerry, Jack Lew, Chuck Hagel and Sally Jewell. The cabinet is the vice president and the heads of 15 executive departments.
A strong governor is allowed to appoint cabinet members and has some veto power. A weak governors cabinet members are appointed by votes and have no veto power.
Modern presidents often do not rely on their cabinet for advice. Most of the Cabinet members are chosen for political reasons, to reward people who were helpful in the campaign. They are also picked for ethnic diversity -- a black, a Jew, a woman, an Hispanic, etc. Some are picked for their administrative experience since they have to run their department. Some may be picked to satisfy a particular group within the party.
Teapot Dome Scandal
It is difficult to say. While there are internet claims (one of which is based on a talk show opinion expressed by former Republican VP Dick Cheney) that Mr. Obama never meets with his cabinet, that seems to be an exaggeration. All available evidence says that Mr. Obama has about three full cabinet meetings (with all members present) a year. But he meets individually with certain members of his cabinet on a very frequent basis and keeps in touch with others by phone or e-mail. There have been many reports, for example, on his frequent meetings with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Health and Human Services, and Secretary of the Treasury. It should be noted that historically, some presidents have had more full cabinet meetings than others. And it should also be noted that since presidents rarely publicize every meeting they have, Mr. Obama may indeed meet with his cabinet more often, but the media have not reported on those meetings. We do know, for example, that at the beginning of his second term, he met with all of his cabinet to review the priorities for the up-coming year; we also know he held a full cabinet meeting in January of 2014.
no. never, but there are probably some presidents With native blood way Down in the family-tree
All of the Cabinet departments are considered to be close advisors to the President. Some may say that the Vice President is the closest advisor to the President out of all the members of the Cabinet.
Electoral college, citizens, delegates, maybe the president
The relationship between Presidents and their Cabinets has varied significantly throughout American history, often influenced by the President's leadership style and the political context of the time. Generally, Presidents rely on their Cabinet members for expertise and advice on specific policy areas, but the degree of influence these advisors have can differ. Some Presidents, like Franklin D. Roosevelt, fostered close, collaborative relationships, while others, like Andrew Johnson, experienced significant tensions. Ultimately, the effectiveness of a Cabinet often hinges on the President's ability to manage diverse opinions and maintain a cohesive administration.
Actually most cabinents have done very well in advising the cabinet, but I suppose the few cabinents that have failed were because the president can choose who he wants in his cabinent and some presidents choose their friends and they might not necessarly be well educated in the area to which they were appointed, like JFK appointed his own brother to GIVE him law experience, not because Robert had it
Like all Presidents he had a Cabinet of secretaries of the various departments of government, But he also consulted some people that he knew and trusted who not were cabinet members. Among them were Andrew Jackson Donelson, his nephew and private secretary, Amos Kendal and Francis Blair, newspaper editors who wrote pro-Jackson editorials, and William B. Lewis, his old army buddy from Nashville.
