None. The constitution has a rather vague reference to the "heads of the great departments", stating that the president has the power to get their written opinions on important issues but that is about it. Michael Montagne

The presidential establishment is essentially the same thing as the Executive branch of the government of the United States of America. It is made up of the president, the vice president, the cabinet, and the executive office.
This group is called the President's Cabinet.
The hope of creating a cabinet system for the Texas executive branch would be that it would lead to greater accountability. Texas became a state in 1845.
There are many things that were not written into the Constitution, but can be interpreted from the document- For example, the cabinet and political parties.

When the president calls cabinet meetings today, the primary purpose is to discuss and coordinate policies among the various executive departments. These meetings allow the president to gather input from cabinet members, address pressing national issues, and ensure alignment on the administration's goals and strategies. Additionally, they serve as a platform for cabinet members to report on their departments' progress and challenges. Overall, these meetings are crucial for effective governance and decision-making.
It means you're either a spiky cabinet or an extremely brilliant heavy metal band.

The Secretary of Homeland Security is the last in line. The ranking is made in the historical order of the establishment of the Cabinet positions.
The president calls and presides over any cabinet meetings. My understanding is that President Obama has called only one or maybe two cabinet meeting since his term began in 2008. The president is , of course , the boss over the cabinet if that is what you are asking.
I think Obama had one cabinet meeting during is first term. They took a group picture, so that may have been its purpose. I suppose making introductions was another reason and Obama may have said something abut the goals of his administration and what he expected from his cabinet.
