H.R. 5539 · 115th Congress
Thomas Jefferson Public Service Act of 2018
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 115th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
8 cosponsors · 8 R
7 signed on when it was introduced; the rest joined later. Cosponsors who withdrew aren't shown.
This bill sets the annual rate of pay to $1 for a Member of Congress who has served six consecutive full terms as a Member of the House of Representatives or two consecutive full terms as a Senator and also prohibits such service from being included as creditable service for federal retirement purposes.
