Controversial ‘energy and environment czar’ Carol Browner, a former commissioner of the Socialist International who was appointed to a non-existent position to avoid Senate confirmation testimony, is stepping down from her post.

Rumors that this move is calculated to avoid testifying under oath to a House oversight committee are of course being circulated by people who know precisely what they are talking about.

Chris,
I think we are going to see a lot of those resignations....heh heh heh.

Probably going to see a lot of claims of "executive privilege", too. But surely the reach of Congress does not end when someone resigns?

Maybe she should leave the country too.

That's quite alright. She has plenty of subordinates who will be available to testify. Put their asses under oath and pound away. Of all the potentially unconstitutional actions undertaken by Obama, the appointment of these so-called czars is at the top of the list.
