They're not elected; they are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate.
Cabinet Ministers are primarily elected as Members of Parliament, and subsequently appointed by the Prime Minister as members of the cabinet.
my question was: how is the cabinet of the president selected?
No. The leader (Speaker) of the House of Representatives is elected by members of the House who, in turn, are elected by the voters in their congressional districts. The President appoints cabinet members to serve in the Executive Branch of government; the House of Representatives is in the Legislative Branch.
No. Cabinet Members are appointed by the sitting President to serve in the Executive Branch of government. The US House of Representatives is part of the Legislative branch, and the House leaders are elected by members of that body.
The Council of State in North Carolina is a group of elected officers, such as the State Treasurer and Secretary of State. The Cabinet is different in that its members are appointed by the Governor, not elected.
The Secretary of Defense, like all cabinet members, is appointed by the President, not elected.
The president and Vice President are elected, but other cabinet members are appointed.
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 (Members of Parliament) are elected, and can become members of the cabinet. However they are not necessarily cabinet ministers. 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).
In fact, the US President is not directly elected by the US voters. The US voters choose, often indirectly, the members of the Electoral College, who in turn choose the President. On more than one occasion, this has resulted in a President who received fewer votes than did his opponent.In Canada, with a parliamentary form of government, the voters elect a parliament rather than a government. The government is then usually formed by the leader of the political party that elected the largest number of members to the House of Commons.
Who were Jimmy Carter's cabinet members
Members of the Canadian Cabinet are called Cabinet ministers (not all ministers necessarily sit in 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.
