Those five members will also be in some of the lowest-ranking positions. None of them are in the so-called inner cabinet, the four positions in place since George Washington’s presidency: the attorney general and the secretaries of state, Treasury and defense (formerly called the secretary of war).

The cabinet members below are listed in order of presidential succession. The inner cabinet comes after the vice president, House speaker and president pro tempore of the Senate.

Some positions, such as the United Nations ambassador and the Office of Management and Budget director, are given cabinet-level rank by individual presidents but are not traditionally considered part of the cabinet.

Historically, white women were named to inner-cabinet positions before nonwhite men and women. Madeleine K. Albright served as secretary of state during Bill Clinton’s second term, and Janet Reno served as attorney general during both of his terms.

The first black person to run the State Department was Colin L. Powell in 2001. Eric H. Holder Jr., nominated by President Obama in 2009, was the first black attorney general.

“Secretary of Treasury and secretary of defense have never been a woman or a person of color,” said Anne O’Connell, professor of law at the University of California, Berkeley. Mr. Trump’s choices continue that pattern.

The few women and minorities in his cabinet occupy lower-ranking positions.

▪ Elaine L. Chao, who was selected to lead the Transportation Department, is from Taiwan. She previously served as secretary of labor during both terms of George W. Bush’s presidency.

▪ Betsy DeVos was chosen as secretary of education.

▪ Nikki R. Haley, who is of Indian heritage, is Mr. Trump’s pick for ambassador to the United Nations. She is currently the governor of South Carolina.

▪ Linda McMahon was chosen to run the Small Business Administration. She is the former chief executive of World Wrestling Entertainment.

▪ Every man in Mr. Trump’s proposed cabinet is white, except for Ben Carson, who is black. He was chosen to head the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Dr. Light, an expert on the presidential appointment process, said that having diversity in the cabinet became standard as nonwhites and women moved up the ranks in politics. “That happened over time, but presidents also became more sensitive to it,” he said.

During his first presidential campaign, Mr. Clinton said he would have a cabinet that “looks like America.” In the weeks before his inauguration, he was criticized by women’s organizations for not selecting women fast enough, but he ultimately appointed more women and African-Americans than his predecessors.

“They come from diverse backgrounds, and we will all be better and stronger for that diversity,” he said in 1992. “I can say with pride that I believe this cabinet and these other appointees represent the best in America.”

The first cabinets of George W. Bush and Mr. Obama were both noted for their diversity. In Mr. Bush’s initial administration, 45 percent of the cabinet and cabinet-level officials were women or nonwhite men. In Mr. Obama’s first cabinet, that figure was 64 percent.

The nation’s first female cabinet member was Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, who was chosen by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933. Since then, six more women have served as labor secretary, more than any other cabinet position. Mr. Obama, George W. Bush and George Bush all began their presidencies with women running the Labor Department.

Norman Y. Mineta became the first Asian-American cabinet member when he ran the Commerce Department at the end of Mr. Clinton’s second term. He later served as secretary of transportation in George W. Bush’s first cabinet. Robert C. Weaver, who served under President Lyndon B. Johnson, became the first black cabinet member and the first-ever Housing and Urban Development secretary in 1966.

so it might actually be a competent cabinet
