How long has Barack Obama been a member of congress?

Barack Obama has been a member of the United States Congress since January 4, 2005 when he was sworn in as one of the two senators from the state of Illinois.


What is the legal status of Obama's Czars?

The term "czar" is often used informally to refer to policy advisors or administrators appointed by the president. These positions do not have an inherent legal status, but are created and appointed by the president. However, the authority and powers of czars may vary depending on the specific role and responsibilities assigned to them.


Does the President have the power to appoint Czars?

Unless Congress has authorized this, he has no such power. I've been searching all the bailout legislation and haven't seen anything about a "car czar" yet.


Why did obama hire czars?

President Obama hired czars, or special advisers, to tackle specific policy areas or issues. These czars were experts in their respective fields and were appointed to provide focused leadership and coordination on complex policy matters. The intention was to have individuals dedicated to addressing specific challenges and implementing targeted solutions outside the traditional bureaucratic structures.


Can congress be sued?

Congress can be sued. In fact, Congress has been named as a defendant in many cases. In 2009, someone sued Congress because they felt Obama was not born in the US.


Does the health care bill provide for any commissioners or Czars?

No. Commissioners, though, have been around for a long, long time (e.g. the FDA commissioner). Czars were just as prominent in the Bush administration as in the current Obama administrations. Czars are merely a term indicating a special mission (e.g. the Drug Czar), rather than denoting any sort of imperialist Russian-like title. (In fact, the word, Czar, is derived from the name Caesar.)


Are there still czars today?

No, they are not and have not been in power since 1917.


Does Obama have a birth certificate proving that he was born in the US?

Yes, and this fact has been confirmed by the Hi. Department of Health as well as two Hi Governors.


What would Barack Obama do if wasn't president?

Obama would probably have continued to serve in Congress; failing that, he might have been on the faculty of a law school or similar job in the legal profession.

Who are President Obama's Czars?

There is no official title of "Czar" within the Executive Branch of the United States government (or any other branch, for that matter). In fact, this is a term created by the media, and it has been in use since the time of President Nixon in the 1970s. Those whom critics (and the media) have called "Czars" are usually experts and advisers, specially brought in by a president to give advice or handle a specific area of policy. For example, the "Car Czar" is actually the head of the Presidential Task Force on the Automobile Industry, and is a former auto industry executive with expertise in that area of business. There is no evidence that President Obama has any more "czars" than other presidents have had. I enclose a link to some of the so-called "czars" who have worked for various presidents; it also lists what their areas of expertise were.


What group is chosen by the president based on experience?

The Cabinet members are chosen for their expertise in specific areas. They must be approved by the Congress. Recently, "czars" have been appointed bu the president.They need no congressional approval.
