General Douglas MacArthur urged that professional heads of the armed services be ex officio members of the cabinet without voting power to provide expert input. The idea, noted during a Leyte December 1944 address, faced opposition from Brigadier General Trubee Davison and drew support from Senator Edwin C. Johnson who backed civilian control of the military.
