On Friday John Hinderaker at Power Line reported that on Wednesday twenty-nine House Republicans introduced a bill to do away with the "czars" appointed by President Obama. According to the article:
"The bill defines a "czar" as "a head of any task force, council, policy office within the Executive Office of the President, or similar office established by or at the direction of the President" who is appointed to a position that would otherwise require Senate confirmation."
Mr. Hinderaker states in the article that he wonders what will happen to the bill in the Senate. After all, the Senate is the legislative body that is responsible for confirming the President's appointments to his cabinet and other offices. Is the Senate willing to give up its own power and responsibility in order to avoid supporting a Republican bill? This should be interesting.
