Individual member of congress is forbidden from holding this while in congress?

While in Congress, members are forbidden from holding any civil office under the authority of the United States which was created or the emoluments of that office were increased during the time the person was in Congress and no person holding any office under the United States shall be a member of either House during his continuance in office. In plain language, a member of Congress cannot hold any other office within the other two branches of government nor can an employee of one of the other branches of government become a Congressman and stay employed in those other branches.

However, it has no authority to fire that individual once confirmed. Only the President can fire a Cabinet member. While Congress has no power to fire a Cabinet member, Congress it does have the power of the impeachment process to remove, not fire, the Cabinet member.
