Do You Know Who Your Czar Is?

[Mr. Shaman]

Do you know who your Czar is

Did you know who you Czar was under Reagan, Bush I, Clinton or Bush II?

For the Record, I don't approve of any of them.

Yeah.....give us more o' those 2010 Teabaggin'-rookies, in Congress, to get the job done!!

They've been soooooooooooooooooooo productive over the last year-and-a-half!

"Czar" is a media term, not a title.

It actually is both. Unless you would like to argue that a Cop is not a title for a Police Man? Is a Teacher a Teacher or an Educator.

It is a Name associated with a Position. Are we playing word games? The Term has been used enough by both sides to earn it's Rank.

You coin a Term, you end up getting stuck with it, not only when it serves your interest, but when it works against it as well, so beware. I know it doesn't fit in with Demo-Speak so well, but that's life. Personally We may be in agreement that the Term Sucks. Let's Shit Can the whole Idea.

I want to personally thank you for that insightful perspective Shaman. You have never been more Right. We need to Restore Constitutional Government, Government by the Consent of the Governed. Remarkable coming from a Totalitarian Lap Dog. Keep up the good work.

Yep, sort of creates Roles doing what should already be handled through the Chain of Command. We agree on this point, if, you can apply the same principle regardless of what Party is in Charge, or Who the President is.

List of U.S. executive branch czars
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This is a list. For the background of "czar" as a political term, see Czar (political term).

In the United States, the informal political term "czar" or "tsar" is employed in media and popular usage to refer to high-level officials who oversee a particular policy. There have never been any U.S. government offices with the title "czar", but various governmental officials have sometimes been referred to by the nickname "czar" rather than their actual title.

The earliest known use of the term for a U.S. government official was in the administration of Franklin Roosevelt (1933–1945), during which eleven unique positions (or twelve if one were to count "Economic Czar" and "Economic Czar of World War II" as separate) were so described. The term was revived, mostly by the press, to describe officials in the Nixon and Ford administrations and continues today.

The list is subjective and imprecise, since frequently individuals or offices might be referred to by the nickname "czar" by some publication or a political opponent, yet the actual governmental official, a majority of publications and others do not use the term. For example, some[who?] consider czars to be only those officials who are appointed by the president without Senate confirmation.

[Flopper]

The media labeled most of these positions czars, which is rather ridiculous when you look at the actual positions. Czar refers to a person exercising great authority or power. Most of these positions are advisers, assistants, and deputies who have relatively little power or authority.

When a new president takes office he will fill many these positions immediately, some will be filled later in his term, and some may never be filled. The media always treats these as new positions that the president has created when in actuality, they have been around for many years.

Assistant Secretary of State for European and Canadian Affairs
Director of Recovery for Auto Communities and Workers
Director of the Office of National AIDS Policy
Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Deputy Secretary of the Interior
Assistant to the President for Manufacturing Policy
White House adviser on Middle East policy
White House Adviser on Violence Against Women
Chief of the Office of National Drug Control Policy
Chief of the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board
Director of the Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy
Director of the Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships
Senior Advisor to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator

 

[Artevelde]

why on earth do we have any "czars"? Isn't the very concept of a czar contrary to everything the United States stands for?

Excellent point.

Your argument is true. Yet you still are not taking into account the Caliber or political persuasion of some very close to the President. The influence or ability to persuade against our National Interest. Though, in truth, Obama is already at War with our National Interest. Maybe you can make the case, being that his mind is already made up to bring us to our knees, that the Czar's are merely there for moral support. You might want to run with that.

My position remains still.... Why bring People in to Sidetrack functions already being covered? For the Record, I don't like when either side does it.

GOP Introduces Bill to Eliminate Czars

A group of House Republicans introduced a bill on Wednesday to rein in the various "czars" in the Obama administration.

Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) and 28 other House Republicans introduced legislation to do away with the informal, paid advisers President Obama has employed over the past two years.

The legislation, which was introduced in the last Congress but was not allowed to advance under Democratic control, would do away with the 39 czars Obama has employed during his administration.

[G.T.]

Greenbeard seems about the only one in this thread with a lick of sense.

The "Czars" have oversight. first, they have to operate within existing Law. Second, they report to the President. Third, the President is checked by Congress and SCOTUS.

Let us know on what Universe "Czars" are somehow Dictatorial positions, and then we can all get back to our fear-mongering worthlessness.

You are kidding, Right??? The Balance of Liberty , Prosperity, Providence hangs on a 5/4 Split in the Supreme Court? Really??? Why have Legislation at all. We could just Officially live off of Court Rulings, however arbitrary they may be, that and Executive Orders.
