Thread: Congressional Candidate Proposes Legislation to Outlaw Czars

Placing the authority for Executive Branch business under unelected, unaccountable 'Czars' confuses and undermines our American system

Congressional Candidate Paul Schiffer Proposes Legislation to Outlaw Obama ‘Czars’

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.â€

Paul Schiffer further clarified:

“My legislation allows Presidents to have any advisors they want, and call them anything they want. However, White House advisors like ‘Czars’ will have no authority over any part of the U.S. Government. My legislation would prohibit any White House advisor from exercising authority over any Federal or State government official, employee, office or department, and would protect every government official and employee from not obeying any White House advisor other than the President himself.

Great idea. Advisors should be just that. Hope he gets elected and can get this legislation passed.

I sent his manager this:

I'm very excited with Paul's actions concerning Obama's Shadow Government.
BUT I am also worried for him. This government of the illegal immigrant, Obama, is full of Communists, Maoists, Marxists, Socialists, Black Liberation Theologists, Reparationists, The Muslim brotherhood and the Muslim Mafia.

I will pray for his protection.

Tell him "We The People" appreciate someone in the government that cares about America and it's People.
