Answered! What is the cabinet, and what are the strengths and weaknesses of the Executive Office of the Preident in the?…

 The President depends heavily on key aides. They advise him on crucial political choices, devise the general strategies the administration will follow in pursuing congressional and public support, and control the access to the president to ensure that he has enough time for his most important tasks. President typically have a chief of staff, who may be a first among equals, or in some administrations, the unquestioned leader of staff. Presidents also may have a national security adviser to provide daily briefings on foreign and military affairs and longer range analyses of issues confronting the administration. Similarly, the president has the Council of Economic Advisers and the National Economic Council to report on the state of the economy and advise the president on the best way to promote economic growth. Below these top aides are the large staff that serve them and the president. There are three main ways that the President organizes his staff. There is Franklin Roosevelt’s way of a competitive management style, which is when his advisers had overlapping authority and differing points of view. Eisenhower’s method was to have his staff arranged with clear lines of authority and a hierarchical staff model. Clinton had more of a collegial staffing arrangement, a loose staff structure that gave many top staffers direct access to him.
