     SEC. ___. POINT OF ORDER AGAINST LEGISLATION DERIVING SAVINGS 
                   FROM A REDUCTION IN FORCE THAT COULD FACILITATE 
                   CONFLICTS OF INTEREST OR SELF-DEALING FOR 
                   INDIVIDUALS WITH OFFICIAL OR UNOFFICIAL ROLES 
                   IN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH.

       (a) Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in the Senate 
     to consider any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, 
     amendment between the Houses, or conference report that would 
     derive savings from a reduction in force that could 
     facilitate conflicts of interest or self-dealing for 
     individuals with official or unofficial roles in the 
     executive branch.
       (b) Waiver and Appeal.--Subsection (a) may be waived or 
     suspended in the Senate only by an affirmative vote of three-
     fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. An affirmative 
     vote of three-fifths of the Members of the Senate, duly 
     chosen and sworn, shall be required to sustain an appeal of 
     the ruling of the Chair on a point of order raised under 
     subsection (a).
