Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relating to the compensation of Senators and Representatives, providing that no increase in compensation shall take effect earlier than the following Congress.

The latest action on file does not map to a stage Civibrief recognizes, so the page will not name one. The record's own words are the reliable fact here.

The record's latest action, on November 30, 1989: See H.R.3660.

This is a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution, which follows Article V rather than the ordinary path a bill takes. Two thirds of the House and two thirds of the Senate have to agree, and a simple majority is not enough.

It is then never sent to the President, who has no role in amending the Constitution. It goes to the states, and three quarters of them, 38 of the 50, have to ratify it before it takes effect.

No. No roll call in this Congress cites this measure. That is the ordinary outcome: most measures never reach a recorded floor vote, and a committee ends most of them simply by not acting.

A vote is not the only thing that happens to a measure. Hearings, markups, and referrals are all recorded actions, and none of them is a vote of the full chamber.

ROBERT LAGOMARSINO (R-CA) introduced it on January 3, 1989, and 1 member has since signed on as a cosponsor.

They are 1 Republican.

Cosponsoring is a formal signature on the text. It is not a commitment to vote for the measure, it does not bind anyone's party, and a long list of cosponsors is a measure of attention rather than of prospects.

It was introduced on January 3, 1989, 13765 days ago. The most recent recorded action was 13434 days ago, on November 30, 1989.

Measures do not carry over. Anything the 101st Congress has not finished by January 3, 1991 dies when the term ends, and has to be introduced again from the start in the next Congress.
