Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., says the fight over White House advisers known as "czars" is far from over.

The congressman says he'll continue to push for his separate bill to seek U.S. Senate confirmation of people in these White House positions, following President Obama's statement this weekend that he plans to ignore a provision in the 2011 budget package that takes away funding for four of these posts.

"The president does not have the option of choosing which laws he will follow and which laws he can ignore," Scalise said in a statement, accusing Obama of acting like a "dictator."

"The president knew that the czar amendment was part of the overall budget deal he agreed to, and if he cannot be trusted to keep his word on this, then how can he be trusted as we negotiate on larger issues like federal spending and the economy," Scalise said.

On Friday, when he signed the 2011 budget deal into law, Obama devoted the last two paragraphs of his so-called "signing statement" to Scalise's provision. Obama said the provision that takes away funding for his advisers on climate change, the auto industry, health care and urban affairs "violate the separation of powers" as outlined in the Constitution.

Obama said he has "well-established authority to supervise and oversee the executive branch" and to obtain advice to carry out his constitutional duties.

Scalise, first elected in 2008, has long gone after these White House advisers, focusing on both their cost and that they are not confirmed by the U.S. Senate. He has called the four positions eliminated by the budget deal the most "radical czars."

The number of presidential advisers who fall into this category has been subject to debate since Obama took office. The term "czar" dates back to Franklin Roosevelt's administration.
