Senator robert Byrd,the top-ranking Democrat in the Senate wrote President Obama a letter saying that these czars are unconstitutional. President Obama’s “czar strategy” is an unprecedented power grab centralizing authority in the White House, outside congressional oversight and in violation of the Constitution.
As of last week, Czar Kenneth Feinberg has the authority to set the pay scale for executives at any company receiving government money (and how many aren’t, these days?). Czar Feinberg has the power to say that someone’s pay is excessive, and to make companies cut that pay until the czar is pleased.
Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.), the longest serving Democratic senator, is criticizing President Obama’s appointment of White House czars to oversee federal policy, saying these executive positions amount to a power grab by the executive branch.

Joe, thanks nuch for that info. Is this whole thing OUTRAGEOUS, or what? This should be headlines all over America! The MSM is now a CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE for shilling for this Fraud King! They ALL need to be prosecuted for not vetting & exposing this FRAUD to the American people. TALK ABOUT A SCANDAL! Beck said this will make Watergate seem like child’s play. Can’t wait till he gets back from vacation in a week. Hope it’s gone viral by then.
