Scenаriо: Cоngress pаsses а bill tо increase the salaries of its members, with the intention of the pay raise taking effect immediately, before the next congressional election. A concerned citizen challenges the move, arguing that it is unfair for Congress to approve its own salary increase without first facing re-election. The citizen points out that an amendment to the Constitution explicitly requires that any changes in congressional compensation must take effect only after the next election, allowing voters to decide if they approve of their representatives' decision. Which amendment supports the citizen's argument that the pay raise cannot take effect until after the next election?
