Lauren Boebert Plans to Use Holman Rule to Target Salaries of Presidential Appointees<\/h2>\n<p>Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) has announced her intention to utilize the Holman rule to file amendments on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mcconnell-warns-democrats-what-republicans-will-do-if-democrats-end-filibuster-would-be-childs-play\/\" title=\"McConnell Warns Democrats What Republicans Will Do If Democrats End Filibuster: \u2018Would Be Child\u2019s Play\u2019\">appropriations bills<\/a>, specifically targeting the salaries of several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senate-confirms-huawei-linked-lobbyist-to-intel-post\/\" title=\"Senate Confirms Huawei-Linked Lobbyist to Intel Post\">presidential appointees<\/a> and other agency officials. Boebert aims to introduce these amendments to appropriations bills that involve Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. However, she believes that the scope of the Holman rule should extend beyond just the higher-ups.<\/p>\n<h3>Significant Cuts and Targeted Bureaucrats<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;There are bureaucrats who will be targeted with the Holman rule, and it is crucial that we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/boebert-seeks-to-eliminate-salaries-of-some-presidential-appointees\/\" title=\"Boebert aims to cut pay for select presidential appointees.\">make substantial cuts<\/a>,&#8221; Boebert emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Washington Examiner, Boebert plans to file these amendments as soon as the appropriations bills are released.<\/p>\n<p>The Holman rule grants House members the ability to propose amendments to appropriations bills, enabling them to reduce the salaries of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rep-boebert-says-reps-should-have-time-to-read-bills-before-voting-on-them-brain-dead-liberals-somehow-disagree\/\" title=\"Rep.

Should Have Time to Read Bills Before Voting on Them - Brain Dead Liberals Somehow Disagree\">specific federal employees<\/a>, terminate their employment, or cut certain federal programs.<\/p>\n<p>This strategy has been suggested by members of the House Freedom Caucus as an alternative to impeachment, allowing for the reduction of officials&#8217; salaries or the elimination of programs within the Justice Department.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier on Tuesday, Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO) expressed his support for using the Holman rule to target Secretary Mayorkas, stating, &#8220;I believe that anyone who is clearly failing in their duties and lacks a plan to improve outcomes is a prime candidate for the Holman rule, and at this point, Secretary Mayorkas is the only person I have in mind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more from the Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
