U.S. Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-NC, wants to do something about all of President Obama’s unaccountable (to Congress, anyway) czars:
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.
McHenry wrote to committee chairman Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.) and ranking member Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) asking the appointed officials to testify.
Funny how there’s no talk among the mainstream media of an “Imperial Presidency,” as there is whenever a Republican holds the office.
