5.3 Cabinet

Bush's cabinet possesses the largest number of minorities of any U.S. federal cabinet to date, including the first two Asian-American federal cabinet secretaries. It is also, according to the Guinness Book of Records, the wealthiest cabinet ever.

Only one non-Republican is present in Bush's cabinet. Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta, the first Asian-American cabinet secretary, who had previously served as Secretary of Commerce under Bill Clinton, is a Democrat.

His cabinet includes figures prominent in past Republican administrations, notably Colin Powell, who had served as United States National Security Advisor under Ronald Reagan and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under George H. W. Bush, and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who had served in the same position under Gerald Ford.

Within a few weeks after the 2004 election, several Cabinet members announced their resignations: Attorney General John Ashcroft, Secretary of Commerce Donald Evans, Secretary of State Colin Powell, Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham, Secretary of Agriculture Ann Veneman, and Secretary of Education Rod Paige. Bush has announced his nominations of Condoleezza Rice to replace Powell and Alberto R. Gonzales to replace Ashcroft.
