Summary

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States limiting pay for Members of Congress and requiring legislation to reduce the national debt.

Plain-language summary

This bill proposes a constitutional —a change to the nation's founding document—that would limit how much Congress members can be paid. It also would require Congress to pass laws reducing the national debt, which is the total money the government owes. Constitutional amendments need approval from two-thirds of both the House and Senate, then ratification by three-fourths of state legislatures. The bill was introduced by Representative George Santos and is currently in the early stage of consideration.
