Specifically, the bill states that the Secretary of State may not hold or otherwise carry out the duties of any other Federal position . Should the Secretary violate this prohibition, the bill further mandates that no Federal funds may be obligated or expended for their salaries or expenses, reinforcing the strict nature of this restriction.
