What are two Cabinet-level positions?

Why this is the answer

The question asks for two, so give two titles from the official list. Cabinet-level positions are the jobs whose holders sit in the President's Cabinet, which mostly means the leaders of the executive departments. Most of those leaders carry the title Secretary followed by the name of their department: Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of Labor, Secretary of Homeland Security and so on. The exception is the Department of Justice, whose head is called the Attorney General. The 2025 list also counts the Vice President and six other officials whose titles are neither Secretary nor Attorney General: the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, the Administrator of the Small Business Administration, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the Director of National Intelligence and the United States Trade Representative. They fit the study guide's note that a President can choose to have other people from the federal government serve on the Cabinet. In all there are 22 titles, and any two of them count. The Cabinet has grown a great deal since it began. Under George Washington it had four members: the secretary of state, the secretary of the treasury, the secretary of war and the attorney general. All four titles are still on today's list, with the secretary of war written as "Secretary of War (Defense)." USCIS's 2008 lessons describe the Cabinet as the Vice President and the heads of 15 executive departments, and a President may add other officials. The department heads are nominated by the President, and a majority of the Senate must approve each nominee. Two mistakes are worth avoiding. One is stopping after one title, since the question wants two. The other is naming a post that is not on the list at all, such as the Speaker of the House, the Chief Justice of the United States or the Secretary of the Senate, even though each sounds like it should belong. A reliable pair is the Secretary of State and the Attorney General: one follows the usual naming pattern and the other is the exception, so it is hard to forget either.
