What, exactly, does an Ebola czar do?
Well, one thing he doesn’t do is testify in Congress, our colleague Joel Achenbach said.
Ron Klain, appointed Ebola czar last month by President Obama during a particularly rocky period when Ebola seemed to be spreading in the United States, was conspicuously missing from the lineup of administration officials in the Senate Appropriations committee hearing on Ebola on Wednesday.

Czary bout that.
I call BS, CONGRESS can subpoena ANY PERSON THEY SO CHOOSE, If they don’t show, CONGRESS can JAIL them for As Long as they wish, Without Revue from ANYONE.
Inherent Contempt!
The office of “czar” along with other idiotic things like “Base Line budgeting” should be outlawed, but that would take courage and political will.
Turns out the CDC was right, though.
Well, he skipped the White House meetings, too.
Obamas CZARS are more accurately called SOVIET COMMISSARS
A prohibition against Czars is one of the reforms needed by the next Republican president. This means agreeing with congress to have a strict hierarchy of who must be confirmed by the senate, and those who aren’t must be under the supervision of someone who is, and is responsible for the actions of that individual.
Other things include a prohibition of Presidential Signing Statements, the “downgrading” of the Presidential Proclamation to having no real authority, strict rules for executive privilege; and for congress to be very willing to impeach and remove from office cabinet officials.
The should be NO czars. This is another freak, created by a freak, living in a DC.
OK , then he doesn't have to appear before the Congressional committee that pays him
Then , hold back his salary ( the House is responsible for Finance and expenses, which includes the Executive Branch expenses).
Then Obama was derelict in his duty by not making Holder the "Fast and Furious " Czar !
It Is Time For The Congress To Re-establish it’s constitutional authority
While the talkies, talk radio show hosts, need to remind “US” of this.. Members of the House and Senate also seem to forget. While those selected to head various federal departments of government are recomended by the incomming POTUS (president of the United States).
Such candidates are constitutionaly required to be approved by the Senate in a procedure known as advise and consent.. Those appointed then are also sworn to uphold, protect,serve, and support the constitution. Not the executive branch. .
Such appointees can and should refuse any executive order.Or allow the executive branch create a political appointee who over rides their congressional authority. Particularly. If and when that executive order is designed to ignore existing congressional legislation which defines a departments jurisdiction or specific purpose protecting the interests of the country . Which places the country in danger, or minimizes the value of citizenship, or places its citizens in clear and eminent danger.
Therefore they and their respective departments must be held answerable to both houses of congress which funds these operations. And, should be held in contempt, censure, and impeachment and the funds witheld if refused to comply.
Every dictator seeks to create his own SS preatorian personal guard, and it is what his Csars are all about.
He was chief of staff to Gore and Biden. My guess is taking on the role of chief of staff to Obama behind the scenes now that Jarrett is coming under increased scrutiny.
That's why he's hiding. He's trying to figure out grand strategy.
Ron is an old Clinton henchman.
He’s part of Hillary’s transition team to the WH.
Remember when Podesta came in last year, he was the first of the Clinton Crime Family on board.
Is Kain still alive? He’s been MIA since the day he was appointed.
Agree. But the key here is that this is Hairy Reid's "Senate", and its committees continue to function according to His Dinginess's imperious pleasure.
I wait for the day when Harry Reid, Bill Clinton, The Impostor, Larval Alien Holder, and the Axelplouffes walk arm-in-arm through the gaping maw of the front gate of Leavenworth Penitentiary.
Speaker Bonehead could appoint a “select committee” tomorrow to investigate this persons role in government. This committee has subpoena power, if the witness refuses to show up, They can call for a vote on “Inherent Contempt”, Have the entire house on standby ready to vote for Inherent Contempt, and JAIL THE WITNESS if the House so chooses. Send the Capitol Police to ARREST the recalcitrant witness.
NOBODY CAN STOP THEM
