Have Congress pass a bill cutting 75% of all members of the House/Senate including Speaker, leaders, and presidents pay.

Created by R.B. on October 27, 2011

This petition, in short, is asking for Congress to pass a bill that would cut 75% of the pay that the House/Senate members, Speaker, Majority/Minority leaders, President pro tempore, Vice President, and the President of the USA receive. The average salary of House/Senate members(that's 535 people in all) is $174,000. The speaker receives, $223,500 and the leaders receive $193,400. The President pro tempore receives $188,500. The Vice president receives $230,700 and the President receives $400,00. Which, in total when cut by 75%, would be $70,889,625 saved per year.
