Congressional Candidate Paul Schiffer Proposes Legislation to Outlaw Obama ‘Czars’
Placing the authority for Executive Branch business under unelected, unaccountable 'Czars' confuses and undermines our American system
Paul Schiffer, Republican Candidate for Congress in Ohio’s 16th Congressional District, has written legislation to outlaw Barack Obama’s dozens of ‘CZARS’ in the White House.
Schiffer promises to introduce this legislation in Congress after election to Congress. Schiffer explained:
“I believe ‘Czars’ are un-American. It started out as almost an inside-the-Beltway joke under Republican Administrations—calling a Presidential adviser a ‘Czar.’ But the idea of Presidential ‘Czars’ has become a worrying trend. If we continue on this path, Presidential over-use of White House ‘Czars’ threatens to weaken America’s democratic system.”
Schiffer stated:
“Placing the authority for Executive Branch business under unelected, unaccountable ‘Czars’ confuses and undermines our American system. The U.S. Constitution establishes the idea of Departments whose heads must be confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Concentrating more and more power in the hands of ‘Czars’ has the effect of setting up a whole new, alternative ‘shadow government’ outside of our American system. This is creating worry among some patriots that at a time of national crisis and confusion, these Czars could serve as a power center outside of our established American system of Departments, with Secretaries confirmed by the United States Senate.”
