Includes all cabinet-level and department-level positions, including ones created within his first 365 days. To resolve yes, a person must SERVE as a cabinet position - a nomination is insufficient to resolve an answer to YES. Acting secretaries count.

The positions that would resolve to YES are as follows:

The heads of the executive departments

  • Vice President (please don't submit this one)

  • Secretary of State

  • Secretary of the Treasury

  • Secretary of Defense

  • Attorney General

  • Secretary of the Interior

  • Secretary of Agriculture

  • Secretary of Commerce

  • Secretary of Labor

  • Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS)

  • Seecretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)

  • Secretary of Transportation

  • Secretary of Energy

  • Secretary of Education

  • Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA)

  • Secretary of Homeland Security

Cabinet-level officials

  • Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

  • Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)

  • Director of National Intelligence

  • Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)

  • Trade Representative

  • Ambassador to the United Nations

  • Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA)

  • Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA)

  • Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP)

  • White House Chief of Staff

As well as

  • Any other cabinet position created through an act of Congress

  • Any other position that the President appoints the status of Cabinet-rank

Note: The President is allowed to designate a position to be a member of the cabinet. In the unlikely scenario where a position is removed from being cabinet-rank before it is filled, it'll resolve NO.

  • Update 2025-02-04 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Clarification on Specific Positions:

    • Tom Homan's role as "Border Czar" does not count as a cabinet position unless officially elevated by the President.

    • Mike Waltz's role as "National Security Advisor" does not count as a cabinet position unless officially elevated by the President.

  • Update 2025-02-07 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Important Clarification:

    • The market will resolve based on the positions listed at the time of market creation.

    • In addition, any position officially elevated to cabinet-level during Trump's first year will be considered for a YES resolution.

    • This clarification applies regardless of any subsequent changes in the cabinet makeup.
