Senate and Congress will not be paid nor accrue vacation or retirement during government shutdown.

Created by L.Y. on September 28, 2013

Senate and Congress will not be paid nor accrue vacation or retirement during government shutdown. Senate and Congress will not have a separate trust or funding for healthcare program/access, pension, and payroll apart from the American public they serve so that any legislation regarding healthcare, pension, payroll and/or programs enforced on the public will equally affect the healthcare programs, pension and payroll of Congress/Senate. Upon government shutdown, Congress/Senate will endure a 20% gross pay cut to their personal salaries when they return which will be ongoing for 5 years unless another shutdown occurs, at which time another 20% paycut will be applied to their salaries again. A 3rd government shutdown during a member's tenure will require immediate termination of services.
