About this book

The American President's Cabinet examines the very different ways in which the seven presidents from Kennedy to Bush used the institution of the cabinet. It considers the way presidents appoint cabinet members as well as the conduct of cabinet meetings. It also studies the sometimes fraught relationships between the cabinet members, working in the various departments scattered throughout Washington, and those who work in the White House itself in the Executive Office of the President. A postscript on the Clinton cabinet is also included.
