A resolution withholding the pay of Senators if a Government shutdown occurs.

This resolution says that if the federal government shuts down because Congress hasn't approved funding, Senators would not receive their pay during the shutdown. They would get their withheld pay as soon as possible after the shutdown ends. This rule would start the day after the November 2026 general election, because the Constitution requires that any changes to how members of Congress are paid can only take effect after an election has taken place.
