President Obama has taken the idea of Czars, or Tsars, to the extreme. He has appointed approximately 20 Czars that I know of and may not be finished yet. These Czars have no oversight from Congress and are not answerable to the people of this country. All checks and balances that are supposed to be in place to keep this country a Representative Republic go out the window when there are unelected people, with this much power, in the government with no oversight. Previously, Czars had no real power, there was no money, they were simply Organizers. With President Obama, this seems to be changing.
We need legislation covering:
- When, and for what purposes, the President can appoint a Czar. The President has a cabinet of Secretaries to aide him in the running of this country. There should have to be some very special purpose to the appointing of a Czar.
- If a Czar is given any real power, or tax payer money, they MUST be held accountable, there must be oversight, to Congress and the people.
- There MUST be legislation passed on how much power a Czar, or Czars, may have. I do not want President Obama, or any other president, appointing a room full of Czars to run this country in his or her name.
- There is also the question of the Constitutionality of appointing Czars. This, in my opinion, should have been addressed long ago, when the first Czar was appointed.
- And finally, there must be some transparency. We, the people and the Congress, MUST be able to see what these Czars are doing. We must be able to audit them.
