so is the correct answer ( D )
Yes, D.
The correct answer is D) Both are appointed by the President but only cabinet members are confirmed by the Senate.
To arrive at this answer, we need to understand the roles and appointment processes for both members of the President's cabinet and czars.
A member of the President's cabinet refers to high-ranking officials who head executive departments within the federal government. These departments include the Department of State, Department of Defense, Department of Justice, and so on. Cabinet members are responsible for advising the President and implementing policies related to their respective departments. They are nominated by the President and must be confirmed by the Senate through a majority vote.
On the other hand, a czar, also known as a special advisor or coordinator, is an official appointed by the President to oversee and coordinate specific policy areas or initiatives. Czars are not part of the traditional cabinet structure but have been used by Presidents to focus on specific issues, such as drug control, counterterrorism, or pandemic response. Unlike cabinet members, czars do not have to go through the Senate confirmation process.
Therefore, the difference between a member of the President's cabinet and a czar is that while both are appointed by the President, only cabinet members are confirmed by the Senate.
