From 1921-1924 Secretary ofState Hughes nearly ran the country with some help from Commerce Secretary Hoover and Treasury Secretary Mellon, so I vote for these three.

Teddy Roosevelt (was at first McKinley Sec. of War, wasn't he?), Herbert Hoover, Kissinger, (Colin Powell-modern)

Roosevelt was not in McKinley's cabinet until Vice President Garret Hobart died suddenly.  Roosevelt had only been Vice President for six months when McKinley was assassinated in 1901.  Influential president?  Yes.  Influential Cabinet member?  No.

TR served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy under McKinley and was very influential into getting the U.S. into te Spanish-American War.
