AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would cap the yearly basic pay of federal political appointees so it cannot be higher than the yearly basic pay of a Senator or Member of the House of Representatives. The cap applies to Executive Schedule positions, noncareer Senior Executive Service positions, Schedule C positions, and other positions excepted from the competitive service because of their confidential or policy-related character. It also covers certain White House staff positions and special Government employees, except members of the Armed Forces serving in those roles. The Vice President's position is not covered.
