美国参议院周四通过一项议案，禁止参议员在政府停摆期间领取薪酬。
这项由路易斯安那州共和党参议员约翰·肯尼迪推动的法案，在近两个月两次创纪录的政府停摆事件后重新获得关注：2025年持续43天的联邦政府停摆，以及今年早些时候国土安全部长达76天的停摆，均为史上最长停摆时长。
该法案无需众议院和总统批准，将于11月中期选举后对参议员生效。
尽管有人质疑该法案是否符合宪法，参议院仍以口头表决方式通过了这项决议。美国宪法仅规定国会议员可从国库领取薪酬，未提及任何例外情况。
但肯尼迪坚称该决议并不违宪，且预计同僚不会在这一问题上提出异议。
参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默在投票前对该法案的前景表示乐观。“是的，我会投赞成票，我认为这项法案获得了大量支持，”这位纽约州民主党议员周三说道。
众议院议长迈克·约翰逊尚未表明众议院是否会通过类似法案，适用于众议院议员的薪酬。
“我们拭目以待，”他此前对记者表示，“众议院也有相关想法，我们会看看能否就此达成共识。”

The Senate on Thursday moved to bar senators from being paid during government shutdowns.
Pushed by Louisiana Republican Sen. John Kennedy, the measure took on renewed significance in the wake of two history-making shutdowns in recent months: A 43-day federal government shutdown in 2025 and a record-breaking 76-day shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security earlier this year.
The measure does not need approval from the House nor the president and is binding for senators beginning in November after the midterm elections.
Senators approved the resolution by voice vote, despite some questions as to whether it was constitutional. The Constitution only states that lawmakers are to be paid from the Treasury, with no exceptions mentioned.
But Kennedy has maintained the resolution is not unconstitutional and didn’t expect any challenges from his colleagues on those grounds.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was bullish on the measure’s prospects ahead of the vote. “Yes, I’m going to vote for it, and I think it has a lot of support,” the New York Democrat said Wednesday.
Speaker Mike Johnson has not indicated whether the House will adopt a similar measure applied to its own members’ salaries in the future.
“We’ll have to find out,” he previously told reporters. “I mean, the House has some ideas on that as well, so we’ll see what consensus we can build on.”
