President George Washington created a lot of institutions and traditions as the first president. One of the traditions he began was the presidential appointment of cabinet positions. Washington appointed four people to cabinet positions. His Secretary of the Treasury was Alexander Hamilton, the guy on the $10 bill.
Rounding out the cabinet was Thomas Jefferson as the Secretary of State, Henry Knox as Secretary of War, and Edmond Randolph as the Attorney General.
The modern cabinet now consists of 15 positions.
