27. Congressional pay limitation. Approved 9/25/1789, Ratified 5/7/1992

 


EschewObfuscation

Take special note of the disparity in date approved and ratified, it is not a misprint. This was one of the original topics of the Bill of Rights. It was not ratified at the time but never expired. Several protest votes by various states against specific congressional pay raises occurred over the years until enough states finally ratified it in 1992. Did you know the constitution had been amended shortly after Clinton took office?
