The czar is appointed by the President, and only has to answer to the President. They don't need to be confirmed. They don't have to show up when congress asks them to. They are in control of billions of our tax dollars, but are not accountable to us. Sweet little power grab- ain't it!
I've been trying to find a single source with a listing of all of the President's current czars, but I am having no luck. I have decided to try to find information on as many of them as I can ( so we can see the people who are running our country).
So I present to you:
KNOW YOUR CZARS

Carol Browner is a member of three groups worth mentioning
