Booknotes+ Podcast: Lindsay Chervinsky, "The Cabinet"

Lindsay Chervinsky is a presidential historian who has written what she says is the first comprehensive study of the executive branch of the U.S. government. Her book is called "The Cabinet." It was on November 26, 1791, that President George Washington convened his cabinet department secretaries: Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, Henry Knox, and Edmund Randolph. It was the first cabinet meeting ever held. Among other things, we asked Lindsay Chervinsky why Washington waited a full two and a half years into his presidency to call everyone together.
