My petition to link congressional pay to the minimum wage has only garnered signatures so far. LII: Constitution: “Amendment XXVII No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened.”

My petition to link congressional pay to the minimum wage has only garnered 9 signatures so far.

I somehow forgot that the most recent constitutional amendment also dealt with congressional pay, but I don’t see that it does all that much: requiring that an election be held between the enactment of a raise and it’s effective date doesn’t do anything to make our electeds more responsive to their constituents.

LII: Constitution:

Amendment XXVII

No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened.

If you haven’t signed it and you’d like to, here’s the link.
