Cabinet of Mexico

It consists of nineteen Secretaries of State and the Legal Counsel of the Federal Executive.

In addition to the legal Executive Cabinet there are other Cabinet-level administration offices that report directly to the President of the Republic (Gabinete Ampliado).

Article 89 of the Constitution provides that the President of Mexico can appoint and remove Secretaries of State.

Cabinet Secretaries are often selected from past and current governors, senators, and other political office holders.

Private citizens such as businessmen or former military officials are also common Cabinet choices.
