For those concerned with constitutional adherence the primary issue is that the appointment of new executive branch officials and White House advisors may not be consistent with the Appointments Clause ofthe United States Constitution.13 While, for others the practical issue is that the expansive use of czars raises accountability, legislative oversight and governmental efficiency concerns.14 Both categories of issues implicate constitutional concerns of separation of powers,15 checks and balances,16 and doctrinal constitutional adherence.
