A Seat at the President's Table.


The term "Cabinet" comes from the Italian word Cabinetto, meaning "a small, private room." The White House Cabinet Room has provided 20th Century Presidents with a place to discuss the business of the country without being interrupted. From routine meetings to serious deliberations, the Cabinet Room's oval table and distinctive leather chairs have provided a stately yet comfortable environment for the President to communicate his priorities and to listen to his Cabinet's opinions and advice.

If the walls of the Cabinet Room could speak they would tell of discussions and lively debate over national budgets, the state of the military, domestic and social issues and matters of national security. President George W. Bush convened a meeting on September 12, 2001 with his national security team in the Cabinet Room, where he declared that "freedom and democracy were under attack." Nearly 40 years earlier, President John Kennedy held intense discussions in the Cabinet Room during the days of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The oval mahogany conference table, a gift from President Nixon in 1970, fills the room. When the Cabinet meets around the table, each Cabinet member is assigned a chair positioned at the table according to the date the department was established. The President occupies the taller chair at the center of the east side of the table. The Vice President sits opposite the President. The Secretary of State, ranking first among the department heads, sits on the President's right. The Secretary of the Treasury, ranking second, sits to the Vice President's right. The Secretary of Defense (third) sits to the President's left, and the Attorney General (fourth) sits to the Vice President's left.

When Cabinet members conclude their terms of service, they are permitted to purchase their cabinet chairs, which bear brass plates indicating their cabinet position and dates of service.

The stately Cabinet Armchair is hand-crafted by the venerable Kittinger Furniture Company with Queen Anne legs; the leather is remarkably rich, with brass nail trim; the support and padding only the finest. Ensconse your posterior in a chair that serves at the pleasure of the President.
