Kitchen cabinet

The definition of a kitchen cabinet is a collection of non-elected advisors to the President of the United States. This informal group is comprised of close confidants and advisors to the President, who act as informal counsel on a variety of policy and political issues. The kitchen cabinet is often a valuable asset to the President, providing trusted advice and political counsel from a variety of backgrounds and perspectives. The kitchen cabinet is a reform minded concept, meant to provide an alternate source of counsel to the President, outside of the traditional channels of the White House and Congress. Examples of members of the kitchen cabinet include first ladies, family members, and close friends of the President, as well as prominent political figures and business leaders. Kitchen Cabinets have been a part of the American political landscape since the presidency of George Washington.
