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.

The list, ping
I emailed my Representative yesterday demanding he investigate these unconstitutional czars and cosponsor HR3226(Czar Accountability and Reform (CZAR) Act of 2009).
Hot Damn! Someone in the WH is finally moving on this thing!
Ping!
I don’t want them to testify, I want them all gone. Period.
“We’re in charge of buying loyalty to the President by using the overwhelming remainder of the $787 billion in stimulus money that hasn’t been distributed yet.”
If they testify, I’d sure like to know what questions they’ll be asked. ;-)
Where do you see that? This Hill article is about a Republican Congressman calling for disclosure. Who in the WH is "moving on this thing!"?
The below comment on this article was posted by a KEITH, I thought I would share:
The only way Obama can get HIS people into positions of power is to make them Czars and circumvent the confirmation process. Otherwise the confirmation process will uncover what HIS people are truly about. With only 43% of his cabinet positions filled and 30 - 44 Czars I feel this is proof that Obama is hiding the truth and will cut corners any way possible to put his deceptive agenda in place.
He should recommend starting with the white ones before he’s called a racist.
And if Van (Montell Williams) Jones wants to come back for a proper hearing, welcome him with open arms and plenty of YOUTUBE
Yeah, on the Glenn Beck Program.
Bump that idea. With commies in the White House, someone has to be in changed of vetting these people.
And don’t call anyone a communist or a comrade!
A complete background check should be run on all of them and shown to the public. Security checks should also be run. After all, they have access to the White House.
Let me fix that.
And don’t call anyone on FR a communist or a comrade!
But these Republican -created bureaucratic monsters are just what the Democrat party of today love!
Vet them first and then have them testify or resign depending on the vetting.
Twinkle twinkle, little Czar,
How I wonder, what you are.
Up above the sky, so bright,
Like a diamond, in a goat’s a**.
I have heard that there is a website devoted to info about Zero’s cabinet and czars status...anybody know about it?
