Republicans introduce bill to eliminate presidential 'czars'

The Hill ^

[NC28203]

>>>The communists had a good idea on what to do with czars....Just saying...

It’s kind of ironic that the first “czar” (Director of the White House Drug Abuse Policy a.k.a. the Drug Czar) was put in place by Ronald Reagan.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

If I understand correctly, you are talking about congress giving the executive branch power to make binding laws(regulations). That is of enormous concern and people seem to be waking up to the fact that the combination of executive and legislative power is very dangerous. On the other hand the mere fact this clown names a bunch of human offal to make wise pronouncements, while annoying and should be addressed, is at present less important than immigration, economic issues etc. This current crop of officeholders scarcely deserves the term government.

Well its certainly about time!

The original Czars were not meant to have much power, they were meant to be mostly advisory positions, that would take some of the work off the shoulders of the president on issues like drug use. If you recall, the anti-drug program was Nancy Reagan’s big issue.

So, this would be like Obama appointing a Czar of children’s nutrition for Michelle.

This is turning out to be a GREAT DAY!

I’m not so stupid to think this may pass Senate but the principal can be resolved and then it can be tacked onto something else that is vital... make the spinate pass it and dumbo sign it. Trench warfare taking as few prisoners as possible.

Bring it to the floor, read it for two days, debate it for one, vote and defund... 4 days max.

No need for committee. That is a House rule isn’t it and not Constitutional?

GO.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

A decent start. “Wait and see” mode engaged.

[Zathras]

On target...fire for effect!

[BigEdLB]

Boehner and the gang aren’t letting any grass grow... This is fun to watch...

[NeverForgetBataan]

The term “czar” is incorrect. The CORRECT term for this administration is “Commissar”.

[xtinct]

Put Obambi on a budget ... defund anything he does with an executive order ....

[untrained skeptic]

Actually, the best method for Congress to restrain an overreaching executive branch is to withdraw funding from whatever they want to kill. Funding bills need to originate in the House, so this is something the House should do rather than the Senate.

[Rapscallion]

Zero out any funding for the executive branch that pays for czars...no money, no czars...unless Barry wants to dig into his personal stash.

As part of their plan to destroy America, I believe George Soros funds/funded them....not the government or congrss or the president. They form a real fifth column within...

Richard Holbrooke: Deceased Czar.

Now Czar of Voting Rights for the Undocumented and Unliving?

And while they are at it, they could cut 3/4 of the FLOTUS staff.

Day One of Good News! :)

[SumProVita]

Excellent!!!

They are starting well. Of COURSE, we all realize that the Dems will put roadblocks in the way....and to REALLY accomplish getting government reined in will take TIME. Let us hope, pray and support the good that they do....as it BEGINS.
