Most members are governmental department heads with the title of "minister of state" (Thai: รัฐมนตรี; RTGS: Ratthamontri).
Instead the new constitution created a direct precursor of the cabinet called: the People's Committee of Siam (Thai: คณะกรรมการราษฎร; RTGS: Khana Kammakan Ratsadon) led by a president.
To be eligible to be a minister an individual must meet the following qualifications: The individual must also: not be addicted to drugs, not have been bankrupt, not be a monk or a member of the clergy, not be disenfranchised, not be mentally infirm, not be under indictment or conviction, not have been expelled by a state agency for corruption or incompetence, not be a paid civil servant or member of the judiciary, and not ever been removed from any office by the Senate of Thailand.
According to the constitution, the cabinet must, within fifteen days of being sworn in, state its policies to the National Assembly of Thailand.
The House of Representatives and the Senate can forcefully remove a sitting minister by a vote of no confidence.
A one-sixth of the chamber vote is needed to call a debate and a simple majority is required for removal.
On 4 September 2024, King Vajiralongkorn endorsed the current 35-member cabinet with Paetongtarn Shinawatra as prime minister.
