Get Rid of the Czars

Why Is This Idea Important?: This idea is important to restore the checks and balances that should be provided by the legislative branch on a Presidency that clearly intends to circumvent the congress.

Obama has appointed more than 15 entities that he calls Czars that circumvent the advice and consent of the Senate. These appointments relegate cabinet members to irrelevant positions since many of the functions that normally would accrue to cabinet positions are being taken over by the duties of the Czars. These Czars answer to no one except Obama. In other words, Obama's way of governing is to skirt the normal process that provides checks and balances from the legislative branch. So far, no one has taken issue with these appointments and broached the subject with the judicial branch.

    Obama must not trust his cabinet and appoints Czars whom he can control and/or fire without bothering to answer to congress. This is like a CEO of a company building a secret staff and ignoring his duly appointed senior staff! Obama must be the ultimate control freak who trusts no one but himself and therefore cannot delegate! It makes sense because he's never run any company or large business.
