Amendments...............

                                        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.


The Twenty-Seventh Amendment was ratified on May 7, 1992.  Interestingly enough, this Amendment was first submitted by Congress along with the other ten amendments known as the Bill of Rights in 1789.  Only took 203 years to ratify it.
