They didn't have Czars when I took Civics classes in college. Curious if any of this information has been released in the new era of transparency.
Don't know when you went to college - but they have had such Czars in the Executive Office of the POTUS since FDR with the passing of Reorganization Plan 1 of 1939 and under Executive Order 8248 - they just didn't call them that until more recently. Guess your professor didn't cover that section of the book.
