So get this - Congressional salaries during a government shutdown are guaranteed under the 27th amendment! To not pay them would be UnConstutional?! #niceworkifyoucangetit "The Twenty-seventh Amendment (Amendment XXVII) prohibits any law that increases or decreases the salary of members of the Congress from taking effect until the start of the next set of terms of office for Representatives. It is the most recent amendment to the United States Constitution. It was submitted to the states for ratification in 1789 and was adopted, over 200 years later, in 1992."
