Is The Presidential Appointment Of Bureaucratic Czars Constitutional

Cartoon capturing the lunacy of the "Czar" mentality.

For decades now, America has been devising more and more bureaucratic agencies - under the Executive Authority of its presidents - in order to micromanage vast areas of its political economy. Meanwhile, each of these agency heads [or, managerial directors] has been euphemistically labeled "Czar" by each successive administration. But what precisely is a Czar, and precisely what kind of authorities does such a political title imply?

Let's see what the Dictionary says about this all important political term - before making any rash judgments regarding it.... Perhaps, it's really no big deal - in a Representative and Democratic Republic?

Czar:

1. An Emperor, or King.
2. An Autocratic Ruler or Leader.
3. A Tyrant, or Autocrat.
4. A Dictator possessing "Life Or Death" Authority.
5. A Slavic and contracted form of the Latin [or Roman] term "Caesar."
6. Any person exercising Absolute Authority [or Power] within a given specialized field.
7. The term Czar  is sometimes applied generally to a powerful leader or to a government administrator with wide-ranging authorities and powers.

Whew! Not so seemingly innocuous, of a term, is it? Particularly, for its adoption within a primarily Democratic Republic - which is supposedly governed, overall, by the willing consent of its people. But, of course, Our American Presidents do have the Constitutional Authority to delegate their own political powers - under our existent and constitutionally applicable laws... so where is the real problem here? After all, isn't The President [himself] a: Dictator, Tyrant, or Autocratic Leader - of sorts - under our already existent Constitutional Laws?

No, he's not! In fact, The President of The United States is merely an Elected Executive - charged with enforcing and upholding our already existent laws - without any Legislative Powers, or Authorities, at all! Congress [alone] is fully charged with devising, and/or writing, our laws; while the President has the constitutional authority at ultimately enforcing them; and the Judiciary is vested with the authority to largely oversee this entire political process. If the President cannot [himself] devise: Policies, Restrictions, Regulations, or Laws - then how can he lawfully delegate such wholly Unconstitutional Authorities to yet another?

Moreover, the entire concept of having a Separation of Powers and Authorities - divided amongst these three politically elected branches - in the first place, was to ensure that no one particular human being [or grouping thereof] could exercise such Tyrannical Authorities or Powers in the first place! When one branch of our government possesses all three [or even just two] of these Powers and Authorities, we are in fact living under a Despotic and Tyrannical System - even if it remains largely benevolent and functional. Which, of course, is no longer predicated by our own laws - but rather, the mere whims and/or desires of the particular tyrants now being fully in charge.

Today, we are beginning to [just now] see the inescapable results of such unbalanced and unchecked thinking - throughout our entire societal fabric. This is only one of our varied and numerous political problems! Don't even think, that I'm laying everything - which is now going on - at the foot of such an ill-advised and unlawful political policy. Nor, do I make such philosophically important statements - merely because The Democrats are now fully in charge. As every other nation in history has ultimately found out, Czars are never a very good political idea for anyone - no matter who is factually in charge! This is not a "Democrat," or "Republican" Issue - it is an American one....

Get it through you head, once and for all... I am not an Anti-Liberal Democrat, nor even an Anti-Conservative Republican... I am "The Real American" and I am speaking up for the Real American Truth; simply because no one else will honestly and rightfully do so! I could care less which particular tyrannical leadership you'll ultimately vote for in each succeeding political election - for they will both inescapably lead you in the very same self-destructive direction. Instead, I would rather properly educate you... so that you might possibly wise up to their singularly devised and carefully designed political traps.

The Truth is a very powerful weapon, but it doesn't come without a cost to those who will earnestly desire to wield it! They must first, invest their own personal energy to overcome their inescapable fears and honestly look outside of the box - which they are currently in - in order to obtain it... then, they must somehow acquire the necessary guts and political backbone - in order to speak up against the firmly entrenched political interests around them - often while receiving tremendous ridicule from their far less educated brothers... and finally, they must do so: clearly, concisely, and consistently - even unto the point of imprisonment, or even death - when necessary! But in the end, the less educated will invariably thank them posthumously - as they have always done in the past.
