Former President Donald Trump said he'd "absolutely" be up for adding Elon Musk to his cabinet though he believes Musk will serve more as a consultant.
The Trump II cabinet so far: Tulsi Gabbard, RFK, Jr. and Elon Musk.
The Cabinet does not have any collective executive powers or functions of its own, and no votes need to be taken. There are 26 members: the vice president, 15 department heads, and 10 Cabinet-level officials, all except two of whom require Senate confirmation. During Cabinet meetings, the members sit in the order in which their respective department was created, with the earliest being closest to the president and the newest farthest away.
Kinda depends on the context, but it’s probably convenient to consider the president, VP, and heads of departments as “the cabinet”. The VP attends the staff meetings and is part of the leadership of the white house. In parliamentary systems, they use the term “ruling government” instead of cabinet, which includes the ministers, prime minister, and vice prime minister.
Wouldn’t JD Vance be in the cabinet too?
Doubt, he’s busy in the couch.
Does VP count as a cabinet position? I honestly don’t know.
