No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened.
Again this one doesn't affect me of course unless I'm in the senate or a representative. Basically it is saying they can't give themselves a raise for no reason and in the middle of election and what not.
This is just a political cartoon showing how almost everybody is in a recession expect for those in congress. Which is pretty much unfair to the rest of the world.
This picture is pretty self explanatory, americans don't have that much money in general, but congressmen are loaded because they do get a raise, after each election probably. I'm sure there are ways around this amendment so that the poor congressmen never have to struggle a day in their life.
