Tie congressional pay to passing budgets

Wittman supports withholding members’ pay if Congress does not pass a budget on time. He has repeatedly introduced the No Budget, No Pay Act and continues to push for it as a way to hold Congress accountable for meeting its budget deadline.

Context: The proposal applies if Congress misses the budget deadline; the passage does not state that it has become law.

In their own words

Withholds Members’ pay if Congress fails to pass a budget on time.
