The Cabinet. George Washington and the Creation of an American Institution, Paperback/Lindsay M. Chervinsky

The US Constitution says nothing about a presidential cabinet, yet this institution has grown powerful. Lindsay M. Chervinsky tells the story of George Washington's cabinet, an ad hoc panel that responded to emergencies of the day. It is supposed to be the Senate's job to advise the president, but the first cabinet changed that expectation forever. Publisher: Harvard University Press Author(s): Lindsay M.
