Description:

Whenever there's an incoming administration, there's a big to-do about Cabinet nominations. So what does The Cabinet DO? How has it evolved since  Washington's administration? What is the process for appointing someone to the cabinet? And finally, how could a president appoint someone without approval from the Senate?

Taking us through all the cabinetry is Dan Cassino, professor of government and politics at Farleigh Dickinson University.
