We stand at the brink of the beginning of the end of our elected representative Republic. Our constitution is in rags being continually ignored by the congress and the supreme court. Hard core term limits are essential. Our founding fathers never contemplated the destructive nature of career politicians. FDR so frightened the nation with the prospects that he would become our nations first dictator that congress passed legislation setting two terms and out for the elected office of president. This legislation should be amended as follows: representatives serve a maximum of 6 two year terms; senators serve a maximum of 2 six year terms; Supreme Court Judges not appointed for life by mandatory retirement at age 75. Law degrees are not recognized by father time as immunity from the ravages of time. Any candidate for public office who receives contributions from outside the geographical area for which he is running is automatically disqualified. All contributions shall immediately be made public. Failure to do so shall disqualify the candidate. It is required by law that every US citizen obtain a Social Security Card as part of their qualifications to be employed. Logic dictates that this form of identification shall be expanded as a requirement for voter identification. If its acceptable as identification for employment and tax paying it should be acceptable for voter identification. All appointed and elected federal officials shall annually attend six hours of classes in which federal sitting judges shall clearly define the term "ILLEGAL" and how this term is to be used in enforcing our immigration laws. Currently, the DC Beltway crowd have no concept of "ILLEGAL" as it applies to our immigration laws. lee1233 There should be no doubt in my fellow Americans minds that the self appointed ruling class of our nation that resides within the DC Beltway have lost their collective way.

Everything will work out, my fellow American. By the way, were you this adamant about defending the Office of the Presidency when George Bush was there? What about calling him a fascist and other derogatory terms? We may have differing viewpoints and detest what many of us see as the systematic dismantling of our liberties, but we still have freedom of speech. I respect your rights. Dear Linda Senich,

Indeed such "czars" are a means for such so-called "Progressive" elitists as Obama to bypass, circumvent, and undermine the Constitution, and even Congress, and ignore and defeat the voice and the will of the people. Altogether, this means that we know enough to be afraid...be very afraid, and so again it is as Thomas Jefferson said (Quote): “When people fear the government there is tyranny, but when the government fears the people there is liberty”. So now the only question is: Will we, the people, choose to be afraid like sheep to the slaughter by tyranny, or will enough of us now finally prove ourselves brave (which is not the absence of fear, but is instead acting in spite of it), brave enough to rise up to fight and defeat the government elitists and statists, such as Obama and his Comrades, in order to save what remains of our freedoms, prosperity, and security as individuals and as the United States of America?

The president has chosen to set his own rules for who serves in the government. I can't believe that there are no competent people currently serving in areas that had CZARS appointed who were not more qualified for the jobs. If they are not qualified ,that says we have a lot of government workers who are of such poor quality, that they should not be promoted. If that is the case we should be making massive cuts to our government staff. We all know however that our president plays by the rule book that says reward those who put me in my job even if they are not qualified. How many more Czars will be appointed before the electorate says stop! Where are the politicans in Washington who should be saying all CZARS must pass the confirmation process.? Too many of them are looking the other way and hoping for contributions for their upcoming elections. All US citizens should be paid back for having to tolerate the sham of the elected politicans in Washington. No laws are being passed that I am in favor of, nor of my contemporaries.

How much is our administration paying for them, their staff, operating costs ,etc.? Other than payment for services rendered, is there any reason to have them. I thought that we had a cabinet position, ambassadors, etc. to pay off political favors. Guess there just aren't enough spots for all the promised appointees, huh? Are all these appointments constitutional? One would think that any appointee should undergo an in-depth background check. That a committee should review the appointee's credentials/qualifications and then and only then be allowed to fill the post. Where did the idea for Czars in American Government come from?
