Cabinet
Cabinet The president’s Cabinet consists of the heads of executive departments. The original Cabinet consisted of the Departments of State, the Treasury, and War, plus the attorney general, but not the postmaster general. The kitchen Cabinet emerged in the 1830s. An informal black Cabinet evolved in the 1930s. The “inner Cabinet” includes the four most influential department heads (of the Treasury, State, Justice, and Defense), who work most closely with the president. By 1993, the Cabinet had grown to 14 departments.
