Computerworld - A proposed amendment that would have given Congress more oversight over the White House cybersecurity czar and at least 17 other czars appointed by President Obama was shut down in the U.S. Senate today.
The amendment, proposed by Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), sought to restrict federal funds for the expenses of White House-appointed czars unless two conditions are met. One of them was to require the president to agree that every czar would respond to "reasonable requests" to testify before Congress on matters related to the office. The other required White House-appointed czars to issue a report to Congress twice a year. The proposed amendment was in an Interior Department environmental appropriations bill on the Senate floor.

We’re very close, perhaps past the point where trying to reason with these creatures can be useful.
Obama clearly said during the pre inauguration days that he planned to FUNDAMENTALLY change America. He wants the Constitution to be changed. He is not for the good of America ... he is for the good of Obama; and those that put him in power. (Not the people).
He has no love of America or it people. MO.
He has total power and he intends to make the most of this.
Soon he will declare he needs more time to complete his work and will extend his time in office to life.
Watch and see.
It will be back, but only After the Senate has conferred with its House flunkies and assured that it’s Packed with Pork for the Senator’s home States: which seems to be about the Only purpose most legislation has anyway.
Rather than wasting time on this, How about a Senate Resolution Opposing the use of terminology from pre-Soviet CZARIST RUSSIA being Any part of American Government to begin with?
czars are just another term for advisor. I cannot remember a president since Nixon who did not have them. W had 47 and that did not bother us. This makes us look a bit hypocritable I am afraid. And costs us our credibility. We have so many huge problems, why this battle have we chosen? And we did not choose to do anything about W’s. Just makes me wonder.
What the heck was that word I used??? Hypocritable???? Is that a word???? Dont think so. Good grief...makes us look like hypocrites.....there you go.
“Soon he will declare he needs more time to complete his work and will extend his time in office to life.”
That would not surprise me and I hope he does. The true patriots of this country would resolve that issue, quickly.
Eventually, how many of these criminals will go to jail?
How many should go to jail?
Every last one of them should be put in handcuffs and frog-marched to club-fed.
So does this mean we have 4 branches of govt now?
Susan “I’m a RINO” Collins?
This was orchestrated by the WH.
