Cabinet (government)

A presidential cabinet is a body of high-ranking officials, typically appointed by a president or head of state, who advise and assist in the administration of government affairs. The cabinet is usually composed of ministers or secretaries, each responsible for a specific area of governance, such as defense, foreign affairs, or finance. In many presidential systems, cabinet members are not part of the legislative branch and serve at the pleasure of the president, meaning they can be appointed or dismissed by the president without legislative approval. The concept of a cabinet is prevalent in various forms of government, including presidential and semi-presidential systems. In Hebrew, a presidential cabinet is referred to as מועצת השרים (Mo'atza HaSarim). In French, it is called le cabinet présidentiel, and in Spanish, it is known as el gabinete presidencial. The cabinet plays a crucial role in policy formulation, implementation, and coordination between different branches of government.
