Cabinet Nominations
“The tradition of the Cabinet dates back to
the beginnings of the Presidency itself. Established in Article II, Section 2,
of the Constitution, the Cabinet's role is to advise the President on any
subject he may require relating to the duties of each member's respective
office.
The Cabinet includes the Vice President and the heads of
15 executive departments — the Secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense,
Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and
Urban Development, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, and
Veterans Affairs, as well as the Attorney General.”- From Whitehouse.gov.

“Trump has already named a few key advisers,
including his chief of staff, Reince Priebus, and Jeff Sessions, a U.S. senator
from Alabama, for attorney general. He also selected South Carolina Governor
Nikki Haley as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
But President-elect Trump still has the rest of his Cabinet to fill.”
