Washington had four cabinet members:
Sec. of State, Sec. of War, Sec. of Treasury and the Attorney General.
George Washington appointed people to fill the first four cabinet positions.
How many positions in the president's cabinet in 1950?
The Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Interior, Secretary of Agriculture, Secretary of Commerce, etc. are cabinet level positions in the president's cabinet. There are currently 15.
The president appoints the cabinet, subject to Senate approval. He can not create or eliminate cabinet positions. Only Congress can do that.
A cabinet position is not an official position in government -- there is no constitutional amendment or law requiring or prohibiting a cabinet. Therefore, the President of the United States may appoint or fire any member of his cabinet that he sees fit. The President may also create new cabinet positions or destroy positions at his sole discretion. The President may also choose to have no cabinet at all. In short, the President appoints a person to be in his cabinet, and that person is in.
The are indeed 15 cabinet positions. I do not think of the Vice-President as being a cabinet member although the president may invite him to cabinet meeting.
No, the president is not mandated to have a cabinet. It would not be advisable for a president to go without a cabinet because they act to help the president make educated decision on policies. The Constitution does not mention anything about the president's cabinet.
secretary of state in the first administration of George Washington, later he himself did become the president.
The president appoints cabinet members with senate approval.
There were 7 (Seven) delegates in his first cabinet.
The U.S. President's Cabinet has no elected positions, so no one elects them. The President appoints them based on his own reasons regarding their areas of expertise or career/personal history. The Cabinet is truly the President's "team." Their chief duty is to advise the President, however they have many other duties as well.
