Question 9 • FL-2106020-M/J Civics Advanced Q2 Teacher-Led Remediation

Which of the following is NOT considered an “as-needed” Cabinet member?

Answer
A
administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency
B
director of the Office of Budget and Management
C
White House chief of staff
D
attorney general of the United States

Explanation

The attorney general leads the Department of Justice, an executive department, so the attorney general is a regular Cabinet member. The EPA administrator, OMB director, and White House chief of staff may be included in Cabinet discussions as needed, but they do not lead one of the 15 executive departments. Therefore, the attorney general is not an “as-needed” Cabinet member.
