These are differences between two snapshots of Congress, the presidency, vice presidency, and Supreme Court. A person can hold a different office on each date. These counts do not measure every transition in between. Cabinet membership is excluded because historical coverage is incomplete.
Service history is indexed from 1789. Current Congress is checked against both official rosters. Cabinet coverage is a dated current snapshot. See coverage and methodology
