| US Constitution Article 2, Section 2, Clause 2: "He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments." So, the ones who have not been confirmed by the Senate are unconstitutional.

Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known and less fixed? -James Madison |

| ... | When the senate is bypassed in the appointing of a Czar, it is a violation of the constitution. he is a criminal.

However, your absolutely right.... I stand corrected. The media did come up with the terminology because Member of Executive Board of the National Narcotics Border Interdiction System Cabinet Level was quite a mouthful as many of these appointments are. And I learned that it went far beyond the Reagan era.....Franklin Roosevelt was the first one to use this terminology. And while you are correct that approval of the senate for choices are made, it isn't for every position and this particular one of Reagan's may surprise you to know was an entirely new position that was a Presidential appointment and not confirmed by the Senate. Not on Reagan's watch. This one doesn't seem to have been from what I can find, but was in all subsequent administrations.

His appointees also for the most part have some questionable backgrounds. If you cant understand any of this, then there really is no reason to discuss it with you any further.
