A White House draft memo is threatening NO #backpay for #furloughed workers. But that would have no effect on #Trump & members of #Congress.
The #Constitution forbids a reduction in #salary for the sitting president, thus guaranteeing compensation regardless of a #shutdown, acc/to the Congressional Research Service.
Similarly, members of #Congress are not subject to #furlough & the Constitution states that members of Congress “shall receive” compensation for their services.
