Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to prohibit Members of Congress from receiving compensation for any period during which a Government shutdown is in effect.

Bill 118 hjres 93, also known as the Government Shutdown Accountability Act, proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the United States that would prohibit Members of Congress from receiving their salaries during any period in which a government shutdown is in effect.

The bill aims to hold Members of Congress accountable for their role in government shutdowns, which can have serious consequences for federal employees and the general public. By withholding their pay during a shutdown, lawmakers would be incentivized to work together to prevent future shutdowns and reach timely agreements on budget and spending issues.

If passed, this amendment would require a constitutional change, which would involve a lengthy process of approval by two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, as well as ratification by three-fourths of the states. Overall, the Government Shutdown Accountability Act seeks to address the issue of government shutdowns by imposing financial consequences on Members of Congress, in the hopes of encouraging more effective and timely decision-making in the future.
