The Holman Rule named after an Indiana congressman, allows our lawmakers to make amendments to appropriation budget bills to slash individual federal worker wages down to $1. So far this session, there have been over 20 such amendments, all sponsored by GOP representatives, targeting mainly cabinet level positions.
The 118th Congress plagued with days of inactivity without a speaker can not afford to waste such valuable time and resources. None of these amendments have passed, however should the Republicans gain a larger margin in controlling the house, who knows what could happen.
Below is a partial listing with links to the amendment on GovTrak.us. The number following the legislator's name is the number "Holman" amendments they have sponsored.
