A formal structure of the Belgian cabinet was specifically not included in the constitution when it was created. Although there have been several amendments proposed to include one, none have been successful to date, with few making it to a vote. The reason for this is to allow the [[president]] to structure his/her cabinet as they wish to maximize the efficiency of the government. As of yet, no two consecutive presidents have used the same cabinet structure.
 
−
 
−
An example of the advantages of this flexibility is [[Thore Thoreson]]'s cabinet in July-August 2010 where the new position of Chief of Staff was created so that [[Medrolke]] could be a member of the cabinet without having to manage a ministry, which he wasn't able to do as he was serving in the US military at the time.
