Any time a budget is not passed on time, House, Senate and Presidential/VP salaries are cut to minimum wage until a new budget takes effect.
(I say “cut to minimum wage” because unfortunately the Constitution has been interpreted as dictating that their pay never be interrupted. It does not, however, specify how much they have to be paid.)

I think I’ll add “abolish the filibuster” on v3. Senators make more money from their owners/donors than their salary anyway.
