Plain-English Summary

During a government shutdown, members of Congress and the President would stop receiving their salaries until the shutdown ends and the government resumes normal operations. The goal is to create financial pressure on elected leaders to resolve budget disputes quickly rather than allowing shutdowns to drag on while federal workers go unpaid. This would affect Congress members, the President, and Vice President, but not the federal workforce or other government employees.
