| @Lee, as stated before, it's all based on when the cabinet post was created. The four original posts were created on these dates: State (4/6/1789), Treasury (9/11/1789), Defense (9/12/1789), and Attorney General (9/26/1789). Of potential interest, there was a suggested Constitutional amendment put forth by Rep. Sherman (D-CA 27) in each of the last several sessions to add on to the list the Amabassador to the UN, followed by the ambassadors to each of the other security council nations, in order Great Britain, Russia, China, and France. The bills, however, never made it to the floor. |
