The Twenty-Seventh Amendment


The Twenty-Seventh Amendment: 

No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened.

This amendment deals with the pay Senators and Representatives receive. A senator can not raise or lower their pay, and it is not determined until the election has occurred. 


A funny interpretation of the 27th amendment, with a touch of sarcasm! This shows how some American's resent how much money Senators have the potential to make.  The 27th amendment requires us to have election before any pay raises can occur.
