As I said, the term is being used moreso as of late to appoint people WITHOUT having to go through the confirmation process.

In that paragraph, the second sentence was intended to apply to the first, not to czars in general. I was referring to the ones that have actual power, instead of just being advisors. Do you know of any unconfirmed czars with statutory powers?
