Require members of Congress to forgo pay during shutdowns

Fitzpatrick authored No Budget, No Pay legislation and says he will abide by it. He argues that members of Congress should not receive pay during a government shutdown when federal employees are forced to go without pay through no fault of their own.

Context: The passage does not describe the legislation’s terms or whether it became law.

In their own words

no Member of Congress should accept a dime of pay during a government shutdown
