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.

H.J. Res. 101 proposes a constitutional amendment that would prevent members of Congress from receiving pay during any government shutdown. A shutdown is defined as a period when federal funding lapses due to Congress failing to pass an appropriations bill or continuing resolution. The amendment requires Congress to pass enforcing legislation to implement this pay restriction. If ratified by three-fourths of state legislatures within seven years, it would become part of the U.S. Constitution.
