Congressional pay increase is found in Amendment 27.
27th Amendment.
Congressional pay is capped by the Constitution, which grants Congress the authority to set its own compensation. However, the 27th Amendment, ratified in 1992, stipulates that any change in congressional pay cannot take effect until after the next election, effectively limiting immediate pay increases. 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.
The document that addressed congressional pay raises is the Federal Payment and Flexibility Act of 2019. This act established the framework for annual cost-of-living adjustments for Members of Congress, which effectively determines their pay raises. The purpose of the document was to ensure transparency and accountability in the process of determining congressional salaries.
