What is the group of people who advise the President?

• A. Cabinet
• B. Supreme Court
• C. Congress
• D. Vice President

Answer: (A)

The President’s main advisory group is the Cabinet. It’s made up of the heads of the executive departments (like the Departments of Defense, Treasury, Education, etc.) and other senior officials who provide expertise on different policy areas and help shape and carry out the President’s agenda. The Supreme Court is the judiciary and interprets laws, not a daily advisory body. Congress is the legislative branch that makes laws and does not function as the President’s single advisory council. The Vice President is a separate official who may advise the President and often attends Cabinet meetings, but the formal group that advises the President is the Cabinet.
