The establishment of the president's cabinet as part of the United States government was the result of a 3. precedent started by George Washington. The Cabinet is actually not mentioned in the Constitution and instead was a byproduct of Washington's need for advisers on specific topics. To satisfy this need, he developed Cabinet positions, many of which still exist today.
