What caps congressional pay?

Congressional pay is capped by the Constitution, which grants Congress the authority to set its own compensation.

Additionally, budgetary constraints and public opinion can influence congressional decisions regarding salary adjustments. As a result, while Congress has the power to set its pay, various factors can act as a cap on actual salary changes.
