According to Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, after the Vice President and a majority of the President's cabinet declare in writing to the President Pro Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House that the President is unable to perform his duties as President, and the President declares in writing to the Senate President Pro Tempore and the Speaker that no disability exists, the Vice President and the Cabinet have four days to repeat their written declarations to Congress. Congress then has 21 days to make their decision.

United States Cabinet nominees are chosen from a large pool of potential candidates.

I mean, think about it: it was during Washington's presidency that our banking system was created and established; that term alone set up America's economy for the rest of our lives. Of course, the president uses his cabinet as a reassurance tool, meaning that before he makes huge decisions that will impact millions of lives for the rest of their lives, he must talk it over with his cabinet, first.
