FUBAR Act

This bill, titled the "Failed to Uphold the Budget? Allowance: Reduced Act" or the FUBAR Act , mandates a significant reduction in the pay of Members of Congress. Specifically, if there is a lapse in appropriations for any federal agency or department due to a failure to enact a regular appropriations bill or continuing resolution, each Member's pay would be reduced to one dollar for the entire duration of that session of Congress. The term "Member of Congress" encompasses individuals serving in positions defined by section 601(a) of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946. This measure is designed to apply to days occurring after the date of the next regularly scheduled general election for federal office following the enactment of this Act.
