Today's Constitutional Amendment of the Day is Amendment XXVII:

No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened.

Twenty Seven is not really all that ground breaking or special, as much as it is interesting. The amendment was originally drafted in 1789, but not ratified until 1992, more than 200 years later. It was one of the first 12 Amendments to be drafted, and would have been part of the Bill of Rights, but it wasn't ratified by enough states. With no expiration date, it sat un-ratified for 80 years, when Ohio ratified it to protest a Congressional pay hike. It then languished for more than 100 years, until Wyoming ratified it in 1978. From 1983 to 1992, it steadily gained enough states to become law, largely due to the championing of Gregory Watson, an aide to a Texas legislator.

In a time when Congressional pay raises are automatic, unless Congress votes to stop it, it is nice to note that our founding fathers had the foresight to propose this Amendment.
