The Cabinet of the American Union is the chief executive body of the American Union's national government, composed of the most senior appointed officers of the executive branch of the federal government of the American Union, who are generally the heads of the federal executive departments. The inspiration of the American Union Cabinet dates back to the first President of the United States, George Washington, who appointed a Cabinet of four people: Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson; Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton; Secretary of War Henry Knox; and Attorney General Edmund Randolph to advise him and to assist him in carrying out his duties.
All Cabinet members are appointed by the President. If appointed, they are sworn in and then begin their duties. Aside from the Attorney General, and the Postmaster General when it was a Cabinet office, they all receive the title of Secretary. Members of the Cabinet serve at the pleasure of the President, which means that the President may dismiss them or reappoint them (to other posts) at will. Typically these cabinet members are regional leaders.
