It is extremely unlikely, so you do not have to worry.
Congress does not have the direct authority to remove members of the cabinet. Cabinet members are appointed by the President and can be dismissed by the President at any time. However, Congress can influence cabinet members' positions through oversight, investigations, and by withholding funding or refusing to confirm a nominee. In extreme cases, Congress can initiate impeachment proceedings against a cabinet member, but this is rare and involves a lengthy process.
Cabinet members are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Congress. They serve at the pleasure of the President and can be dismissed or quit at any time.
No, Congress cannot appoint members of the Cabinet. The Cabinet is composed of the heads of executive departments, and these individuals are appointed by the President of the United States with the advice and consent of the Senate. While Congress plays a role in confirming Cabinet nominees, the actual appointment authority rests with the President.
Congress has 545 members, 1 president and Vice President, about 12 cabinet members.
Because the cabinet and the president personally work together on a regular basis, so cooperation is ensured if the president has the authority in this instance.
The Speaker of the House and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate are next in line after the Vice President. Then come the 15 cabinet members. When the President addresses a joint session of Congress, one of the cabinet members always stays away in a safe location.
