This amendment is simple. It just says that Congressmans' salaries won't be changed until their next term. This was basically made so that the current people in Congress couldn't vote for a raise for themselves. I think that this amendment was helpful because if we didn't have this amendment, Congress could need a couple more bucks for Christmas this year and raise their salary.
