Read previewYou may have heard that some lawmakers think the $174,000 annual salary for rank-and-file House and Senate members is too low. Since 2009, rank-and-file lawmakers' salaries have remained flat at $174,000 because government funding bills have included a provision explicitly blocking a modest pay increase that would otherwise happen. Rep. Rick Crawford of Arkansas is among the current and former lawmakers suing the United States over their salaries. "People who don't like it should take it up with James Madison," Cuccinelli added, referring to the fourth US president and the original proponent of the 27th Amendment. That suit also alleged a violation of the 27th Amendment, though a judge later dismissed the case.
