CCQs on Cabinet

1. When exactly would the president need the advice of the Cabinet? Would it be when he is deciding whether or not to veto a law? What kind of advice would the Cabinet give the president?

2. How is the order of succession to presidency decided? Is it by importance? What decides the importance of the heads of houses? Is the succession based on the individual, not the department? I find it strange that there are so many people in line for president. It's not very likely that more than 2 of the people in line would be killed. I suppose the government has to take every precaution, just in case.

3. Who exactly fits into the executive departments? Would a teacher be a part of the executive Department of Education? Would a police officer be a part of the Department of Defense? Do all executive members of our government fit into the departments, or are the executive departments only for those that are higher up, or have more importance?
