The Holman rule .... Reducing federal employees salary to one dollar. #SES

 


The Holman rule .... Reducing federal employees salary to one dollar. #SES 

What is the Holman rule in the Constitution?

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. Versions of the rule were in effect during 1876–1895 and again during 1911–1983.

It was reinstated for the Republican-controlled 115th Congress during 2017–2019, 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 The rule was rescinded once more at the beginning of the 116th Congress upon Democrats taking control of the chamber, and was restored once Republicans retook the House majority for the 118th Congress in 2023.

History
OPM founded the Federal Executive Institute in 1968 to offer learning and ongoing leadership development for senior leaders. We have served more than 30,000 senior federal leaders and deliver programs at our campus in Charlottesville, VA, and at agency sites throughout the U.S. and the world.

Staff
The Federal Executive Institute is staffed by the director, resident faculty members, and adjunct faculty members around the country who bring their rich and diverse backgrounds into our learning environment. Our adjunct faculty includes representatives from a wide range of colleges and universities including Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, Georgetown University, and the Maxwell School of Syracuse University.

Partners
Our founders anticipated a close intellectual relationship with the education community, which is part of why the campus was established near the University of Virginia(external link) (UVA). FEI and UVA partner together on various efforts, including recruitment of UVA students for graduate fellow and undergraduate intern programs.



Anew website has made available a database of anyone serving in a top-ranking position in the federal government, offering new insight that advocates said will boost transparency and better prepare new administrations to transition into power.  

The Office of Personnel Management launched the site to comply with the Periodically Listing Updates to Management (PLUM) Act, which so far includes the names, roles and pay levels of more than 8,000 executives in government.

OPM said that figure will grow to 10,000 as it ensures compliance and updates the list over the coming months. It will include senior leaders at every federal agency, including all 4,000 political appointees, Senior Executive Service members and other top or non-competitively appointed officials.

Senior Executive Service: Membership of Performance Review Board



The Senior Executive Service (SES) lead America’s workforce. As the keystone of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, the SES was established to “...ensure that the executive management of the Government of the United States is responsive to the needs, policies, and goals of the Nation and otherwise is of the highest quality.” These leaders possess well-honed executive skills and share a broad perspective on government and a public service commitment that is grounded in the Constitution.

Members of the SES serve in the key positions just below the top Presidential appointees. SES members are the major link between these appointees and the rest of the Federal workforce. They operate and oversee nearly every government activity in approximately 75 Federal agencies.

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) manages the overall Federal executive personnel program, providing the day-to-day oversight and assistance to agencies as they develop, select, and manage their Federal executives.
