Yeah for the most part I agree people on here understand the gist of the situation others... not so much I mean the government shutting down impacts everyone except the Members. To that point yeah if the government shuts down due to the 27th amendment the Members themselves continue to get paid. Personally, I think it demoralizes a lot of the staffers and its why its so funny to me when Members act like they lose in the shutdown when their check still hits.

Besides the fact they shouldn't be paid, they shouldn't be allowed to leave DC like they have done before. Hell I think they should be put in a tiny room all of them together and forced to hash it out and compromise. No lunch breaks no bathroom breaks everyone in a room and a compromise would come flying out pretty freaking quickly. They would also have to vote on it in this room so they cant come to an agreement be let out then tank it.... I know they would def do that...
