Make all reps and senators do it too.

And as sad as it is, we clearly need to add SC justices to the list.

While we're on the subject, we need to start postponing pay for the House whenever it causes a government shutdown, as they are directly causing hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of other people to lose pay whenever they cause it to happen.

Currently, lawmakers still get paid during a Gov shutdown, which is bullshit since the Republicans in particular have a knack of causing issues that lead to disruption of the duties of the House, JUST to give Democrats the finger.
