It would HAVE to be a House rule, whereby #Art1Sec5Clause2 would empower the rule.

No federal law could do it, as Congressional pay is a part of the constitution. It's why they had to put pay raises in the #27thAmendment

This is not reform, it is redesigning the state for control. Demoting the Supreme Court and elevating a 5 star military office with lifelong immunity kills civilian oversight. Constitutional change used to freeze power, not serve the people.

Pakistan didn’t amend a constitution — it amputated its democracy. Courts sidelined, power centralised, people ignored. When justice bends to uniforms, nations break. How long will we pretend this is “reform”? #27thAmendment #PakistanCrisis #JudicialCapture #CivilRights
