Democratic lawmaker Rep. Rosa DeLauro falsely accused House Republicans of attempting to give themselves a pay raise while objecting to a stopgap spending bill, claiming that the bill included a pay increase for members of Congress. However, her claim was immediately refuted by House Republicans, who shouted that it was false. Rep. Austin Scott disproved DeLauro's claim by citing the 27th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits changes in compensation for members of Congress without an intervening election.
