Sen. John Kennedy Proposes No Pay During Government Shutdowns
Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) has introduced a resolution that would stop senators from receiving pay during a government shutdown. Under the proposal, senators' salaries would be withheld until Congress passes funding legislation and the government reopens.
Supporters say lawmakers should feel the financial impact of a shutdown just like many Americans. Critics argue the measure would have little effect on wealthier members of Congress.
