New cabinet departments are established when Congress passes legislation creating the department. For example after the 9-11 attacks at President Bush's urging The Department of Homeland Security was formed. It took the Congress less than a year to conceive, draft, and pass the bill authorizing the department - a remarkable accomplishment given the enormity of the task.
