Obamaâs appointments are clearly âprincipal officersâ though it will be argued that they are only advisors to the office of the President.
Clearly, Obamaâs appointments are not heads of departments, but they appear to have been granted an unknown degree of influence and control as regards their responsibilities. They function âin the dark.â
For example, since we have a Department of Labor why do we need an âAuto Recoveryâ czar, Ed Montgomery, who reports to Larry Summers, the Presidentâs top economic advisor? What can he do to effect recovery?
And, constitutionally speaking is it lawful for the United States to have âownershipâ of General Motors? Or any other private enterprise? I think not.
