The 27th Amendment is the most recent amendment, and there are many people who probably don’t remember what it stands for: congressional pay raises.
“No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened,” the amendment reads, as approved in 1992.
In short, the amendment states that a sitting Congress can’t change its pay while it is in session.
