The Lowdown | Who’s in Trump’s Cabinet and What Are Their Jobs? Lesson Plan
There are 16 cabinet positions including the vice president. President Trump’s cabinet picks are winding their way through the Senate. Some have been approved; others are awaiting confirmation. Almost all have garnered opposition from critics of the administration. This lesson asks students to analyze the responsibilities of cabinet members and Trump’s current cabinet picks for the positions. They then take on the roles of the sub-committees and Senate to “confirm” or “deny” the current cabinet members and nominees.
