Article 2, Section 2 of the Constitution states that the President “may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices...” With this authority, President George Washington developed the cabinet system in 1789 when he asked the heads of the existing three executive departments and the Attorney General to meet with him on a regular basis.
