Cabinet in USA is a ......... body.
Answer: C
The Cabinet in the USA is an extra-statutory and extra-constitutional body.
The US Constitution vests executive power in the President alone and mentions only 'the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments', whose written opinion the President may require. It does not create a cabinet, and no Act of Congress set it up. The Cabinet grew out of the practice of George Washington, who met his department heads as a group, and it survives as a convention.
So it is neither constitutional nor statutory, and 'semi-constitutional' is not a recognised category. The President is not even bound by its advice, unlike a parliamentary cabinet.
