The House of Representatives recently passed a bill proposed by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to reduce Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s salary to $1, citing his extravagant trips and a past incident where he pretended to ride a bike to receive an award.
Buttigieg has faced heavy criticism for his handling of crises at the Department of Transportation, including delays in responding to a train derailment and commercial airline cancellations.
The bill is unlikely to be approved by the Senate.

This move is part of the Holman Rule, allowing members to propose amendments to decrease federal workers’ salaries to $1, essentially defunding their positions.
The bill reflects ongoing efforts by some Republicans to reduce spending by the Biden administration.
