“This needs to be done - Apply the Holman Rule
Individuals could be targeted with the Holman Rule (The rule was first enacted in 1876 and rescinded in 1983 and was reinstated in January 2017 on a temporary basis.). An action that allows amendments to appropriations legislation that would reduce the salary (Like to zero!) of or fire specific federal employees, cut position, and\or cut a specific program. It purely resides in the House!

Congressmen Comer & Biggs have said they are going to get the Congress to use this. Looks like it’s done by a simple majority vote! Those two are “Thinking man’s Congressmen” not grandstanding “virtue signaling congressmen”.
See an action with an actual consequence, unlike impeachment!
Imagine if “7th floor - federal employee speak for upper upper Civil service, SES, & Schedule C\political management” found their programs zero’ed out, positions zero’d out, their salaries zero’ed out, and\or fired! Again, real consequences not “look-at-me-I-am-pretending-to-do-something” show like impeachment! Again, this is totally a House action!
The Holman Rule has survived Constitutional challenge.”

I’d Love to see that happen (Holman Rule)...
I wonder how far it could go. Wray / Majerk-Ass / et al. Ann. Salary = $1, All Military Flag officers above O-8 (MajGen/RAdm(Upper Half)) = Salary 25₵, All “7th Floor” and SES personnel Salary = 2₵, etc.
