The Relationship Between President and Cabinet Secretaries

The relationship between a president and his cabinet secretaries is largely dependent on what the president actually wants to have, says Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. "Ultimately the responsibilities associated with that job are laid out in law but you have to have a relationship with the president and what he wants" The White House has not just its core staff and advisors, there's the entire Domestic Policy Council, the National Economic Council, National Security Council, OIRA, all of that.
