According to Foxnews.com "Czardom does not sit well with Senator Robert Byrd. Though slowed by age, the West Virginia Democrat remains vigorous in his defense of the powers ceded to the Congress by the Constitution. He said he believes czars are a slick way of governing without having to answer to Congress. There is no Constitutional requirement that czars undergo those pesky Senate confirmation hearings. Czars are accountable to no one except the administration"
