Cabinet rank
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A person who is of Cabinet rank holds a ministerial position in the government. They sit in Cabinet and form part of the ranking of the leadership. In the UK the top four Ministers after the Prime Minister are the Commons Leader, Home Secretary, Chancellor and Foreign Secretary [1]
In the United States the ranking of members of the Cabinet forms a part of the presidential line of succession. Typically more senior members sit closer to the President when seated in the Cabinet room.
