Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Thursday she is introducing two bills related to the  pandemic with the aim of stripping Dr.<br>of his government salary and banning so-called vaccine passports. <br>In a press release Greene tweeted, the controversial Georgia Republican said her 'Fire Fauci Act' would decrease 'Dr.<br><br>Always Wrong's' pay to $0 and the 'We Will Not Comply Act' will 'prevent discrimination against the unvaccinated.' <br>Later Thursday, she tweeted a video of herself weight-lifting sans mask. 'This is my Covid protection,' she wrote, along with '#MakeAmericaHealthyAgain' and 'It's time to #FireFauci.' Greene previously owned a CrossFit gym.   <br>Greene said her goal was to have the 80-year-old Fauci remain unpaid until the  can confirm a new director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases - except Fauci isn't a political appointee, he's a career civil servant - and so the bill, as she's pitching it, wouldn't work. <br>              Dr.<br><br>Anthony Fauci (left) is being targeted by Rep.

The QAnon congresswoman said she was introducing legislation that zeroes out Fauci's salary <br>        In a press release, Greene outlined her plans for both bills.<br><br>The Fauci bill wouldn't actually have the power to remove Fauci from his role<br>        In another tweet Thursday, Greene shared video of herself lifting weights and doing CrossFit maneuvers.<br><br>'This is my Covid protection,' the Georgia Republican said <br>      High-level presidential political appointees need Senate confirmation.  <br>But in Fauci's case, he's a career civil servant who's held his job since the Reagan administration, advising presidents of both parties. <br>When former President Donald Trump suggested to a Miami campaign rally crowd in November that he might fire Fauci after the election, experts pointed to federal laws that would prevent him from directly making the move. <br>'There are civil service protections for career federal employees that prevent them from being removed or demoted for political reasons,' Max Stier, president and CEO of Partnership for Public Service, , when tensions between Fauci and Trump were already apparent. <br>Trump could have pressured Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, a political appointee, to get rid of Fauci - but there's a process Fauci could pursue to stay in his job.  <br>Greene was correct in noting that Fauci is the , currently making $434,312, according to her office. <br>Salary data from 2019 said Fauci was making $417,608.  <br>The second piece of legislation Greene said she is pursuing would prevent businesses engaged in interstate commerce from discriminating against people based on their vaccination status. <br>It would also cut off federal funding to enforce vaccine mandates.<br>It would allow individuals who have been discriminated against due to their anti-vax status to sue. <br>Greene's legislation would also allow anti-maskers to sue. <br>It would also prevent the U.S.<br><br>government from requiring a vaccine to acquire a passport. <br>And prevent airlines and [https://incitasecurity.com/mens-crossfit-joggers-for-workout/ incitasecurity.com] colleges from denying a person access due to vaccine status. <br>With the Democrats in majority and only a handful of Republicans leaning into the GOP's emerging anti-vaxxer base, the bill will go nowhere. <br>On Twitter, users pointed out that both bills could be April Fools' jokes. <br>Democratic Rep.<br><br>Ted Lieu tweeted, 'Below is an example of why Members of Congress need good staff.
