It might. Or they would breath a sigh of relief at having the expectation of doing something removed to us and they would go back to their districts screaming about the mean Dems and what they WOULD be doing if they were the Majority.

Great.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald ... rcna105629'He's 100% in': Matt Gaetz widely expected to run for Florida governor
The Florida congressman, however, told NBC News that his only political goal at the moment is getting Donald Trump elected president in 2024.

As part of those festivities, Perez held a reception Sunday night at an AC Hotel by Marriott near the city’s downtown. At the event Gaetz was seen “kind of holding court,” and he strongly implied several times he would be running for governor, four people at the event told NBC News.
“There was a lot of talk about it at the reception last night, and Gaetz was telling people to basically expect him to be in,” one longtime Florida Republican lobbyist said.

He's such a jerk.
Rep. Matt Gaetz @RepMattGaetz wrote: AG GARLAND REFUSES TO ANSWER:
• Can you guarantee the people buying Hunter Biden’s “art” aren’t doing so to gain political favors from the Bidens?
• Did the Biden DOJ dissolve the Trump-era China Initiative as a result of Hunter’s Chinese business deals?
• On January 6th, did you lose count of the number of federal assets?
GAETZ: “Not going to comment, not going to investigate.”
GARLAND: “That’s right.”

We can set up committees, have hearings, and yell at people. But at the end of the day, if we still send the check to fund a weaponized government, having a Weaponization Subcommittee is little relief.
If any of this was serious, we would be sending out subpoenas and compelling process the way the January 6th Committee did.

I somehow recall, but could be mistaken, that Congress has certain things run outside of the Federal Government structures since they are a separate branch. Having parts of their world controlled by the executive branch could create a potential risk to their independence. Congress can be touchy about such things as the Constitution is rather clear about the separation of powers.
That said, I don't remember if this applies to pay, though their pay may not be reduced during a term.

There is a Constitutional question about withholding or cutting the pay of Congress during their term and Judges pay cannot be reduced or stopped, so they get their official paycheck, first of every month. Most of them aren't really very needy for missing one anyway. I think for one of the shutdowns, some brave Sir Robins said they'd volunteer to not get paid, but being millionaires many times over, it hardly mattered to them.. Mitt Romney ain't gonna have to switch to cat food if the Senate becomes a non paying gig.northland10 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 25, 2023 9:48 amI somehow recall, but could be mistaken, that Congress has certain things run outside of the Federal Government structures since they are a separate branch.

Gavel the fuckers into session and then lock them in the chamber 24/7 like The College of Cardinals used to be in the 16th century until they pass what they need to pass, including the Conference Report with the Senate. No cocaine breaks until Biden signs the finished bill.

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/20 ... hheld-dur/Rep. Gaetz requests his pay to be withheld during government shutdown
Rep. Matt Gaetz said Tuesday that he doesn’t want to be paid during a government shutdown.
In a letter sent Tuesday to the House’s Chief Administrative Officer Catherine Szpindor, the Florida Republican requested that his pay be withheld until the government has been funded.
“It is my understanding that pursuant to the Constitution, members of Congress will continue to receive their pay during a lapse in appropriations. Therefore, I am requesting that in the case of a lapse of appropriations beginning at 12:00 a.m. on October 1, 2023, my pay be withheld until legislation has taken effect to end such lapse in appropriations in its entirety,” the letter said.
