1) Washington had Hamilton as a Secretary of the Treasury. SO - in as much as Washington had at least 1 secretary of a department, he had a "cabinet."
2) Carter signed it into law, but Reagan was really the first to *have* the thing, and he tried to have it cut as a cabinet-level position. He didn't have sufficient congressional support to do that.
3) Article II, section 2 includes:
...
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.
...
Some of those "other Officers" established by Congress establish appointments. This appears to be the root of the "Cabinet."
SO - the constitution provides for the possibility of such appointments, but didn't appear to mandate the structure of a Cabinet of inferiors.
Until tomorrow.
