NOTE: This will only resolve to someone who has actually assumed office. If anyone currently listed isn't confirmed by the senate, their name will be replaced with whoever the next person nominated is until someone's in the office on a permanent basis. (In the event Trump lets a temporary appointment stay in that role with no intention of replacing them, I'll just add them after a few months).

These are the 24 members of Trump's cabinet (his 16 "proper" Cabinet members + his 8 Cabinet-level members). Which role will be vacated first? Quitting, being fired, resigning in disgrace, dying - the method by which they leave doesn't actually matter for the purposes of this question.

In the unlikely event Trump makes it all the way through his term with none of these people leaving his cabinet, this question will resolve N/A.

In the unlikely event Trump dies, this question resolves to Vance (since he will have become the president, which is not a cabinet position).

In the event that multiple people resign simultaneously, this market will split equally between them.

  • Update 2025-06-20 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator has confirmed that Matt Whitaker (Ambassador to NATO) was included as an answer option by mistake, as this is not a cabinet-level position. This option is not a valid answer and will be corrected.

bought αΉ€1 Howard Lutnick (Secr... YES

this shouldn't include Matt Whitaker. he's the ambassador to NATO, which isn't a cabinet position. the cabinet position is the ambassador to the UN, which still hasn't been filled. (Mike Waltz is the current nominee.)

@ZaneMiller Oop, looks like i forgot to change that when the pick changed. Dunno where Whitaker came from though

What if The cabinet 25th amendments Trump? Wouldn't then the first to leave be Trump himself?

@JussiVilleHeiskanen It'd resolve to Vance, who would leave the cabinet and become president.

Allegedly there's some splits forming in the cabinet over Iran... Will anything come of them?

Elon's not in the cabinet. Here's a question for him specifically.
