No - Cabinet Ministers are Members of Parliament that hold significant office within government. Examples of Cabinet Ministers in Britain are the Foreign Secretary and Chancellor of the Exchequer.

MPs that hold no cabinet position are often referred to as "back-benchers", which refers to their position in the House of Commons (hence not on the Front Bench, of either the ruling party of the opposition).

Are there any members in the cabinet that are not eligible to become president of the us?
It can happen.

I don't believe any of the current cabinet members would be ineligible under this rule, but obviously that could change at any time.
