No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives shall take effect until an election of Representatives shall have intervened.
The 27th amendment prevents Senators and Representatives from raising their salaries during their service. This forces them to think about the job requirement itself, rather from their personal bias.
Comical little cartoon. I think the cartoonist is making a point that Congressmen have still gotten around the 27th amendment to bring in more dough.
Not so fast buddy! Read the 27th amendment!
