GOP lawmakers propose bill that states if a budget is not passed

OFF THE WIRE

GOP lawmakers propose bill that states if a budget is not passed, Congress would withhold the pay of lawmakers in either the House or the Senate if their chamber fails to pass a budget by April 15. House Republicans have passed budgets for two consecutive years, but the Senate hasn't passed one since Obama's first year in office.
But the so-called "no budget, no pay" provision has run into complaints that it's not constitutional. Critics point to the 27th Amendment, which states: "No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened." Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said Monday "it appears that the 27th Amendment does not permit Congress to alter its pay in the midst of a current session."

Well well...It seems when Democrats' pay & salary is an issue, they hypocritically & immediately run to the Constitution to defend themselves however in any other instances where constitutionality is an issue, such as religious freedoms & the 2nd amendment, Democrats are nowhere to be found...this, is The Patriot Report.
