Rule XXI of the Rules of the House of Representatives is amended by adding at the end the following new clause: It shall not be in order in the House to consider any bill, joint resolution, or conference report that appropriates or otherwise makes available funds for the salary of any Federal officer or employee who is finally convicted of violating section 102 of the Revised Statutes of the United States ( 2 U.S.C. 192 ). In this clause, the term finally convicted means a conviction— which has not been appealed and is no longer appealable because the time for taking an appeal has expired; or which has been appealed and the appeals process for which is completed. .
