What do the President's Czars do exactly?

According to Congressional Legislation, the term "Czar" is correct. Anyway, what power and authority do these people have? Do they have to be confirmed by Congress like members of the Cabinet? How many does President Obama have at this time?

Here is the link to a proposed bill.

Update:

Also, please mark this as interesting, so we can get a wide range of opinions.

    1. The Stimulus Bill was written by an Organization called APOLLO,

    with the assistance of some of Obamas Czars.......NOT the POTUS and NOT congress;

    2. Their authority ( now under Congressional review ) is almost limitless, since they answer ONLY to Obama;

    3. They formulate Policy and Procedure, submit it to Obama, who then "pushes" it through "his" Congress;

    4. 6 of these Czars hold "key" and critical positions WITHIN our Government, like the FCC Czar, who has openly praised Chavez and his revolution.......he also "feels" our country has "too much freedom of speech";

    5. These Czars have NOT been vetted, nor investigated by the FBI, which is why Van Jones, an AVOWED Marxist, anti-American,

    racist and Law Enforcement hater, HAD to be exposed by an Independent News network.....Note: This "personal" and intimate friend of Obama, with an Office INSIDE the White House, also was instrumental in the Stimulus Bill. The one that provided 8 billion to ACORN over the next 4 years.

    6. Obama has 32, and CORRECTION - 6 Have been confirmed by the Senate.....the rest HAVE NOT.

    The term 'Czar' was created by the media during the Nixon years because the media was too lazy to use the official title of the adviser.

    Check out this site for a list of czar titles and their official titles as well as who they were and the administration in which they were appointed

    They don't have to be confirmed, they just appear out of nowhere. They're not properly vetted. This is how it always has been. The reason why they are getting so much publicity now is because it past administrations there have been a few, in Obama's administration, there are well over 30.

    Look up the terms "rape" and "constitution" and you'll have a pretty sound idea what these people do.
