As the number of czars continues to grow Americans are becoming more concerned about losing control of their government. What can be done about it? Try this. If a czar comes calling to check on your salary, tell him to go stuff it.
What is a czar?
Czars are special advisers to the President. As such they do not require Senate confirmation. The President can have his Uncle Charlie as an adviser, for all that matters. He can get advice from anyone. However, he cannot legally give his authority to a czar. So let’s do this about the czars. Ignore them. If President Obama wants his czars whispering in his ear all day long, so be it. If he wants to give them any authority, then he should appoint them to a political position in his administration that is subject to the advice and consent of the Senate. In that process we will learn a lot more about who these characters are, and we can voice our opinions of them. Otherwise, President Obama is going to have to do the heavy lifting and take responsibility for everything he brought his czars on board to do.
