Why do you think that the presdient has a cabinet? What are some of the different positions/titles that the cabinet members hold? How many cabinent members are there? Why does the president need more people to support him, and why are these jobs so specific?

I think that the President has a cabinet because the president is very busy and needs some people to help him. There are 15 positions on the cabinet; Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs, and the Attorney General. The president needs people to support him because he is very very busy. These jobs are very specific because they each need intensive care.

I think that the President has a cabinet beacuse President of the united states is a huge job, and he needs all of the help and support that he can get. The cabinet consists of 15 people who each have a different department/title. The departments are as fallows: Commerce, Education, Health and Human Services, Defense, Homeland Security, Energy, Agriculture, Housing and Urban Development, Treasury, Attorney General, Labor, Transportation, and State. These jobs are so specific because they need to be in order to be effective, each department can focus on their job and accomplish a lot.
