No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013 : ウィキペディア英語版 | No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013
In the United States, the No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013 (; ) is a law that was passed during the 113th United States Congress in potential violation of the 27th Amendment.〔()〕 The Act temporarily suspended the United States debt ceiling from February 4, 2013 until May 18, 2013. It also placed temporary restrictions on Congressional salaries. ==Background== An earlier version of the No Budget, No Pay Act (unrelated to the debt ceiling) was originally introduced in early 2012 by Jim Cooper, a Democratic congressman from Tennessee. It stipulated that congressmen in the United States Congress would not get paid unless they passed a budget by October 1, 2012.〔Nocera, Kate.

("2-party Group Puts Pay on Line in Get Budget Passed in House" ), ''The Washington Times'', 16 May 2012. Retrieved on 9 November 2012.〕 The bill received limited bipartisan support. However, some members of Congress on both sides of the aisle opposed the bill, stating it would have likely violated the 27th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which states "No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened." 〔http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/01/21/lawmakers-call-house-republicans-no-budget-no-pay-plan-unconstitutional/〕 It was considered dead until mid-January 2013 when Republican lawmakers came up with the idea of combining sections of this bill with a debt ceiling increase; Democratic lawmakers eventually accepted the compromise.
