IT’S ABOUT TIME!!
Let’s get involved and get these representatives supported and start making calls to inform other reps and ask why their names aren’t co-sponsoring HR 3226.
This is a start but only a start. These czar positions should be determined by congress not only in number, job descriptions, but also salary. A president should not be able to exceed the positions as determined by congress are necessary. We are looking at 30 some czars today. I believe the number should be single digits with full disclosure to the American people the positions, job responsibilities, as well as salary bring paid by the American tax payer. If a bill is necessary to reign the czar position in, then this one needs more teeth.
Great Bill
What a sad day in mudville when these positions can be created with no consent from anyone, but it takes the passage of a bill to get rid of them. I most certainly will be contacting my so called representatives and demand that they support this bill.
Strange, how quickly we are approaching the number of Czar’s PBO has, which is almost if not equal to the number of past presidents this country has had. One step closet to socialism? who knows?
The constitutionality of these so-called Czars is highly in doubt. I can find NOTHING in the constitution that allows these “advisors”.
