Explanation:

Since 1792, by statute, the members of the cabinet constitute a presidential order of succession, after the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the president pro tempore of the Senate in case of vacancy of both the presidency and the vice-presidency. The US Constitution refers to these department secretaries when it authorizes in Article II, Section 2 to "require the Opinion, in writing, of the Principal Officer in the Executive Departments, upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices. In short, the secretaries and their departments are the administrative arm of the president.
