“No Pay, No Leaving D.C.!”: John Kennedy Pushes Shutdown Crackdown

John Kennedy is pushing a resolution to block congressional pay during government shutdowns and even prevent lawmakers from leaving Washington, D.C. until it’s resolved. “Members of Congress can’t be PAID… and can’t leave D.C.!” Kennedy said, arguing lawmakers should share the burden as federal workers go without pay. Supporters call it “common sense accountability,” while critics say it raises constitutional and logistical concerns.
