An United States Secretary is one of eight Members of the nine-Member Federal Cabinet (FedCab) of the United States. Of the nine, eight of them are United States Secretaries, while the ninth is the Governor-General of the United States, who serves as the President of the Federal Cabinet. Each of the eight United States Secretaries heads one of the eight Federal Executive Departments, which, together with the Office of Governor-General, forms the Executive Department of the Government of the United States.
United States Secretaries are styled, “United States Secretary for (Portfolio)”; however, of the eight U.S. Secretaries, two of them receive titles other than “United States Secretary”, they being the [U.S.] Attorney-General (Head of the United States Department of the Attorney-General) and the [U.S.] Postmaster-General (Head of the United States Department of the Post Office).
Appointment and tenure[edit | edit source]
The Post of U.S. Secretary is an appointed Position, whereby the Governor-General nominates and, by and with the Advice and Consent of the United States Senate, appoints each of them; and each serves at the Pleasure of the Governor-General.
Oath[edit | edit source]
Before they may enter into the Powers and Duties of an United States Secretary, each of them must Swear an Oath to, “[p]reserve, protect, and defend the United Staes Constitution Treaty, from all Enemies, foreign and domestic;” swear that they will “bear true Faith and Allegiance” to the United States Constitution Treaty; and must further swear that they “take [the] Oath freely, without any mental Reservation or Purpose of Evasion” —essentially the same Oath as that for the Office of Governor-General.
