Following Sen. Harry Reid’s remarks yesterday calling for an “ISIS czar,” Sen. John Cornyn said Tuesday the U.S. doesn’t need “another unelected official” given the responsibilities that “ought to be born by” President Barack Obama. “We don’t need an unelected czar, we need a commander in chief that will lead,” Cornyn said.
