I need this answered in less than 2 hours so can someone please explain in their own words.
How did Washington shape the executive branch for future presidents?
Washington conscientiously sought the "advice and consent" of the Senate in making appointments to office and in executing treaties with foreign governments, as the Constitution required.
Washington adds to the executive branch by adding the cabinet. The cabinet is a group of his close advisors. In the cabinet are the secretary of state, secretary of treasury, and the secretary of war.
