House Minority Leader John Boehner is accusing President Obama of subverting and circumventing the Constitution by appointing so-called czars who are not subject to Senate confirmation or scrutiny.
In a wide-ranging interview with Newsmax.TV on Thursday, the Ohio Republican discussed issues ranging from healthcare reform to President Obama’s refusal to engage the GOP leadership in bipartisanship.
But Boehner’s most pointed comments came when Newsmax.TV’s Ashley Martella asked whether he is concerned that Obama has appointed so many czars – special advisers or envoys who have relatively few restrictions on their authority or salary – most of whom do not have to win confirmation in the Senate, as Cabinet secretaries do.

“I think this whole issue has gotten way out of control in terms of the number of czars that he has and advisers around him,” Boehner said.
While acknowledging that Obama has a right to domestic and international policy advisers, he contends that the president crossed the line with his czar appointments.
Obama is consumed with Power. His appointments of over 30 czars is repugnet to say the least. I find it hard to believe that Democrats and Republicans
in Congress are allowing Obama to make the appointments of these czars who are not even accountable to congress. It appears as though Obama and his close circle of advisors (including behind the scenes people) are working as fast as they can to bring America to its knees.
