The amendment you are referring to is the 27th Amendment to the United States Constitution. It states that any increase in Congress' salary cannot take effect until after the next election for Representatives. This amendment was enacted to ensure that Congress cannot directly benefit from raising their own salaries without being accountable to the voters in an election.
