Congressman wants all 'czars' to testify
The Hill ^ | 9/9/09 | Jordan Fabian

Posted on 09/09/2009 9:29:53 AM PDT by Nachum

Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) on Wednesday called for President Obama's "czars," or appointed high-level advisers, to testify before Congress about their "authority and responsibilities" in the executive branch.

The president's "czars" have become a point of controversy among his opponents because they do not have to be confirmed by the Senate as cabinet-level officials do.

I emailed my Representative yesterday demanding he investigate these unconstitutional czars and cosponsor HR3226(Czar Accountability and Reform (CZAR) Act of 2009).

This is important. The reason they are Czars and not Senate approved nominees is because the administration knows they would not survive a proper vetting process. Sunlight is, after all, the best disinfectant.

I don’t want them to testify, I want them all gone. Period.

If they testify, I’d sure like to know what questions they’ll be asked. ;-)

Where do you see that? This Hill article is about a Republican Congressman calling for disclosure. Who in the WH is "moving on this thing!"?

The below comment on this article was posted by a KEITH, I thought I would share:

The only way Obama can get HIS people into positions of power is to make them Czars and circumvent the confirmation process. Otherwise the confirmation process will uncover what HIS people are truly about. With only 43% of his cabinet positions filled and 30 - 44 Czars I feel this is proof that Obama is hiding the truth and will cut corners any way possible to put his deceptive agenda in place.

He should recommend starting with the white ones before he’s called a racist.

And if Van (Montell Williams) Jones wants to come back for a proper hearing, welcome him with open arms and plenty of YOUTUBE

Bump that idea. With commies in the White House, someone has to be in changed of vetting these people.

And don’t call anyone a communist or a comrade!

A complete background check should be run on all of them and shown to the public. Security checks should also be run. After all, they have access to the White House.

Unfortunately , Nixon started the EPA,Reagan the War On Drugs with the first "czar",and Bush II the Dept. of Homeland Security;all bad decisions that only mean ever more government intrusion and control,loss of productivity,decreased freedom ,and doubtful results .

But these Republican -created bureaucratic monsters are just what the Democrat party of today love!

Vet them first and then have them testify or resign depending on the vetting.

Twinkle twinkle, little Czar,

Like a diamond, in a goat’s a**.
