GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia says that the newly announced special counsel investigations of former President Donald Trump will be "defunded" after Republicans seize control of the House.

Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday appointed veteran federal prosecutor Jack Smith as special counsel to spearhead criminal investigations of Trump, regarding the classified documents found in his Mar-a-Lago home and his activities surrounding the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Greene predicted that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy will reinstate a little-known House rule after being voted in as speaker in January, with Republicans then moving to force the investigations to a grinding halt due to lack of funds.

The Holman Rule, which was introduced to the House in 1876, allows members of Congress to propose amendments to appropriations bills that target specific programs or individuals. Programs and specific workers can be stripped of pay or fired under the rule.


Critics of the rule have said that it allows members of Congress to unethically target individuals and government agencies for political purposes, gives House appropriations too much power and could potentially paralyze the federal government.

"DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE TOUCH MY MAIN MAN!", she screeches.

This is the face that not even her mother would love.

Poor Earl.
 
The Holman Rule is a rule in the United States House of Representatives that allows amendments to appropriations legislation that would reduce the salary of or fire specific federal employees, or cut a specific program. The rule was first enacted in 1876 and rescinded in 1983, and was reinstated in January 2017 on a temporary basis.[1] It was in effect for the entirety of the Republican-controlled 115th Congress and several amendments were proposed that progressed to a vote of the full House, but none were adopted. The rule was rescinded once more at the beginning of the 116th Congress upon Democrats taking control of the chamber.

OOPS.
 
Look at this House witch's face that even her mother recoils in horror from and curses the day she was conceived.

I heard someone today with the great idea that Congress can defund every single executive order if they want to....that the days of Presidents making themselves into kings could be over any day we want it to be.

I am not sure if they are right.

Probably not but it can result in our government being in a deadlock and nonfunctional.
