    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. PAY OF MEMBERS OF CONGRESS DURING GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWNS.

    Basic pay of a Member of Congress may not be disbursed during any 
period in which--
            (1) there is a lapse in appropriations for any Federal 
        agency or department as a result of a failure to enact a 
        regular appropriations bill or continuing resolution; or
            (2) the Federal Government is unable to make payments or 
        meet obligations because the public debt limit under section
