The Cabinet of Ironcastle is part of the executive branch of the Ironian government that normally acts as an advisory body to the President of Ironcastle. It is composed of the most senior appointed officers of the executive branch of the Ironian government serving under the President. Among those are the Vice President and the heads of the federal executive departments, all of whom are by federal law (3 I.C. § 19) in the line of succession to the Presidency. Members of the Cabinet (except for the Vice President) serve at the pleasure of the President, who can dismiss them at will for no cause. All federal public officials, including Cabinet members, are also subject to impeachment and trial in the Senate for "treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors".

The President can also unilaterally designate senior Presidential staffers, heads of other federal agencies and the Ambassador to the World Assembly as members of the Cabinet, although this is a symbolic status marker and does not, apart from attending Cabinet meetings, confer any additional powers.
