how much do congressman get paid
npscott gave this response on 8/28/2000: The U.S. Constitution says both Congressmen and Senators must earn equal pay, so each receives the same salary which is currently $141,300 a year. They also, of course receive an account for office expenses and hiring a staff, but these are not personal income monies.pscott gave this response on 8/28/2000: The U.S. Constitution says both Congressmen and Senators must earn equal pay, so each receives the same salary which is currently $141,300 a year.
