Lauren Boebert\u2062 Plans to Use Holman Rule to Defund Salaries of Government Officials<\/h2>\n<p>Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) is taking\u2062 a bold stance by introducing several amendments to the \u200bDepartment of \u200bDefense appropriations bill. In a move that has caught the attention of \u200dhard-line conservatives,\u2064 Boebert plans to use the Holman rule to slash the salaries of DOD officials.<\/p>\n<p>Boebert&#8217;s office\u200d has confirmed that\u200c she will be filing multiple amendments before\u2062 the Wednesday deadline. The Holman rule, which allows members to make amendments to appropriations bills,\u2063 gives\u200c Boebert the power to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/boebert-to-file-multiple-salary-slashing-amendments-to-defense-appropriations-bill\/\" title=\"Boebert plans to propose salary-cutting amendments for defense bill.\">fire \u2064specific federal employees<\/a>, reduce their salaries, or cut certain federal \u2062programs.<\/p>\n<h3>Targeting \u200cDefense Secretary Lloyd Austin<\/h3>\n<p>While the spokesperson\u200b for Boebert did not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-snubs-gop-leaders-on-new-iran-diplomacy\/\" title=\"Biden Admin Snubs GOP Leaders on New Iran Diplomacy\">provide specific details<\/a> on her targets, Boebert previously stated in an interview with the\u2063 Washington \u2064Examiner that she plans to use the Holman rule \u200dto target Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.<\/p>\n<p>This move by Boebert is part of a \u2062larger effort by members of the House Freedom Caucus to hold President Joe Biden&#8217;s appointees and\u2064 other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kathleen-j-anderson-elon-musk-slashed-twitters-employees-time-for-washington-to-do-the-same\/\" title=\"Kathleen J.

Alongside\u200d House \u2064Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry (R-PA), she aimed to cut the \u200dsalary\u2064 of Stacy Dean, the deputy undersecretary of the\u2062 Food and Nutrition\u200b Service of the Department \u2062of\u2064 Agriculture, to just $1.<\/p>\n<p>However, the agriculture appropriations \u200bbill is currently \u2062facing opposition from both centrist and Freedom Caucus Republicans, causing it to stall in the House\u2064 Rules Committee.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Boebert&#8217;s spokesperson emphasized her commitment to \u2064using the \u200dHolman rule and all \u2064available means to \u2063ensure \u200bfederal agencies and bureaucrats fulfill their responsibilities and serve the American people.<\/p>\n<p>As the deadline \u200dapproaches, all eyes \u200dare on Boebert and her amendments, which \u200bhave the potential to make\u2063 a significant impact on the salaries and positions of government officials.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click \u2063here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
