Apparently they didn't selectively audited them, they selectively slowed 
down the process to grant them exemptions.

Given the Tea Party is against taxes and the IRS is the organism deputed 
to raise them, the hostilities are not surprising.

Tradition or not tradition, Republicans and Democrats have no duty to 
approve or reject the names any POTUS choose.

My understanding of the checks and balances put in the US Constitutions 
is they were designed to stop the government from acting out of control.
If two branches do not agree, there is a stall. And the stall will last 
until they agree. If this need years, let it be so. If it need some 
representatives to lose their seat and new representatives to be 
elected, let it be.

If the reasons to approve someone are serious or not let it be decided 
by the people doing the approval.
If the voters are unsatisfied by the people they elected, the voters 
will change them. It is not the business of the POTUS to bypass  the 
legislative because it is expedient.
Maybe "the people" will decide to change the POTUS instead to change 
Senators and Representatives. Or maybe "the people" want to keep the 
legislative branch as is, the executive as is and is happy they are 
unable to agree about some nominations.

The Federal Government is not there by, for and to "The People"?

If two branches do not agree is the task of "The People" to solve the 
problem.
