The Cabinet is the collective association of the President, the Vice-President, and of appointed officials who are responsible for running each department of the government, and as such represents the administrative arm of the Executive Branch. Each Department is headed by an official referred to as "Secretary" of that department, i.e, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Agriculture, and so on. The Cabinet is ad hoc also, in the sense that it may include any other official the President chooses to include, such as National Security Advisor, Ambassador to the United Nations, or other officials. In and of itself, while it is composed of Department heads, the Cabinet is not an official decision-making body, and serves only to advise the President. Their deliberations are not put to formal votes, and The President has the final authority in all executive-level decisions that may pertain to Cabinet deliberations.
