From Nextgov.com: Panel advances bill to make chief technology officer, cyber czar permanent jobs

A House subcommittee on Wednesday approved legislation that would make permanent the positions of federal chief technology officer and national cybersecurity director. An amendment, offered by Rep. Gerald E. Connolly, D-Va., to codify the CTO position was folded into H.R. 4900 following his year-long effort to pass a standalone CTO bill. President Obama used his regulatory powers to create the U.S. CTO job, filled by Aneesh Chopra, and federal cyber czar position, occupied by Howard Schmidt, but Obama or any other administration can easily eliminate the positions by writing new rules.
