Texas Congressman Proposes Legislation That Could Halt Holder's Salary

A bill proposed by Texas Rep. Blake Farenthold, a Republican, would halt the salary of any government official who is found in contempt of Congress.

Farenthold added that it could be another way to get the attorney general to come forward with the Fast and Furious documents that Congress has been requesting for years, although, he said, "It's not just aimed at Eric Holder individually."

Farenthold said the bill is aimed at "pulling some power back to Congress" that has been eroded into the executive branch over the years.

I like it.  Too bad it probably won't go anywhere.

Doubt even then. Won't have the numbers to overcome The Won's veto.
