| | Cabinet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Historically, cabinets are the successors of Privy Councils. | | | In some countries, cabinets are required to be appointed from sitting members of the legislature while in others, such as the United States, cabinet members may not be sitting legislators; they must resign their legislative office if they accept a cabinet appointment. | | | Since the administration of Franklin Roosevelt, the President of the United States has acted most often through his own executive offices or the National Security Council rather than through the cabinet as was the case in earlier U.S history. |
