Good News for the Republic: Attempt to reign in unregulated czars

House Republicans Push Bill to Shut Down White House 'Czars'

House Republicans have President Obama's "czars" in their crosshairs once again, introducing a bill this week that would effectively shut down their offices. 

The bill, authored by Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., is a revamped version of a proposal that went nowhere in the last Congress. But with Republicans in charge of the House this year and a particularly combative Republican in charge of the committee that will be considering the measure, the proposal might have a fighting chance this time around. 

"We're hopeful for this one," Scalise spokesman Stephen Bell told FoxNews.com.
