Are the "czars" cabinet positions?  Should they be vetted by Congress?  Can the president just 'appoint' anyone without Congress' approval?

What power do these czars have?

He shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law: but the Congress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments.

One would think Congress would push to have some control over appointment of shadow Cabinet officers (which czars are).

Why would a democratically controlled congress want to properly vet this 'czars'?

What's scary is that we have all these czars, some 30+ of them, who may have not have properly had their backgrounds checked - I wonder what kind of information are they privy to?  What kind of private information?
