HR 5194 United States House · 118th Congress

YOU’RE FIRED Act

HR 5194, the "YOU'RE FIRED Act," blocks federal funding for the salary of John Luman Smith, who serves as Special Counsel for the Department of Justice. The bill directly affects only this individual by prohibiting the use of taxpayer money to pay his position. It contains no broader policy changes or mechanisms, as it is a targeted procedural measure restricting funding for one specific federal employee. The bill's title uses an acronym for emphasis but does not alter any substantive law or affect other individuals or programs.
