The Cabinet of the United States, which is the principal advisory body to the president of the United States, has had numerous officers serving as heads of multiple different federal executive departments, or other cabinet-level positions, which can differ under each president. The vice president historically is also part of the presidential cabinet, ready to assume the Presidency should the need arise. As the years progressed, some departments lost their original status in the president's cabinet, while other agencies were established or reorganized as such entitles. Unlike in many parliamentary cabinets, it is generally less common in the United States for officeholders to obtain multiple such positions over the years.

| - The Cabinet of the United States, which is the principal advisory body to the president of the United States, has had numerous officers serving as heads of multiple different federal executive departments, or other cabinet-level positions, which can differ under each president. The vice president historically is also part of the presidential cabinet, ready to assume the Presidency should the need arise. As the years progressed, some departments lost their original status in the president's cabinet, while other agencies were established or reorganized as such entitles. Unlike in many parliamentary cabinets, it is generally less common in the United States for officeholders to obtain multiple such positions over the years. Edmund Randolph was the first person to serve multiple cabinet positions; he was appointed attorney general in 1789 and secretary of state in 1794 by President George Washington. Randolph became the first person to have served in two different cabinet posts during a single administration. Samuel Dexter was the first person to hold multiple president's cabinet posts under separate administrations. He was appointed by President John Adams as secretary of war in 1800 and secretary of the treasury in 1801, remaining in office briefly after Thomas Jefferson—Adams' successor assumed presidency. Patricia Roberts Harris was the first woman and first person of color to serve multiple posts in the presidential cabinet, as well as first female to hold two different cabinet positions during a single administration. She was appointed by President Jimmy Carter as secretary of housing and urban development in 1977 and served as secretary of health and human services two years later. Elizabeth Dole became the first woman who have held two different president's cabinet posts for two different administrations. She was appointed by President Ronald Reagan as secretary of transportation in 1983 and was secretary of labor in 1989 during the tenure of George H. W. Bush—Reagan's successor. (en)
