Discard Senate Confirmation of Appointees?
(With a hat tip to Bunkerville)
From the Examiner:
Group of Senators push to shield more Obama appointees from confirmationRead the rest HERE.
Once confirmed, political appointees can operate relatively under the radar, making new rules that have widespread implications but aren't well known out of the small community of people who follow these issues carefully. Presidential appointments are one way the White House can impose its agenda on the nation without having to actually pass legislation.Now, a group of Senators is pushing to eliminate the confirmation process for 200 of these positions -- removing the one check on them.
Note the Senators involved: Rules Committee Chairman Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., the committee’s top Republican Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and the heads of the House Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., and Susan Collins, R-Maine.
