Tie members of Congress' salaries to Approval rating

Created by J.L. on January 15, 2013

Create a law that ties congressional member salaries directly to their approval ratings. Include all congress members and their staff to the bill as well as the The President his and staff.

The approval rating will be gathered via a poll of registered voters twice yearly. Those salaries will begin at a minimum $0.0/year and increase incrementally to a maximum of $175,000/year or 100% approval. Language within the bill will also indicate the repeal of congress's ability to vote their own raises at any given time. Any raise request would therefore and also need approval by registered voters.

Also provide language limiting the number of staff or assistants the First Lady can have.
