US Cabinet Positions Quiz

9/15.

Where the heck is surgeon general?

Head of the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Too US-centric!!!

The title is "US" Cabinet Positions... of course it's going to be US-centric! (unless you're being sarcastic, then by all means disregard this message...)

Sarcastic. Very sarcastic.

You know what? I think the Europe Map Quiz is too Euro-centric!

That is too funny!

100% - of course, lmao

Defence with a C please for all us non-americans

It's the US cabinet position. The official title is Secretary of Defense. It's a proper noun so the spelling doesn't change regardless of where you are the in the world.

Although I am English I was trying to think of the British political departments then use US terms to fill in the gaps. Obviously not a good stratagy for me as I managed an average score for this one, which shows my ignorance of politics all over the world!

Can transport please be accepted as well as transportation?

Darn, you guys have WEIRD names for stuff. I mean, who covers immigration?

Immigration would be part of Homeland Security. I don't think the names are that odd. They mostly do what they say they do, with the exception of Defense (which does aggressive war) and Homeland Security (which does defense).

Homeland Security does not cover national defense. If, for instance, the United States was invaded by China... then we're much more likely to rely on the Army, Air Force and Navy (Defense) than we are on the TSA, CIA, or ATF (Homeland Security). Homeland Security deals with counter-terrorism.

It used to be housed within Justice.

INS (Immigration and Naturalization Services) was originally established under the Treasury Department, and was then migrated to the departments of Commerce, and then Labor, and finally Justice before ceasing to exist in 2003. In 2003 it was split in three: US Citizenship and Immigration Services, US Customs and Border Protection, and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), all of which are now under the Department of Homeland Security.

I wish you would require all the words in Housing and Urban Development.

Way too many cooks in the kitchen! We don't need half of those departments! Then maybe I would have got 100%.
