Verbatim from the venue. The analyst must quote these, never paraphrase.
If the annual base salary of all Members of Congress increases above $174,000 after Issuance and before Jan 1, 2027, then the market resolves to Yes.
This includes increases by any mechanism, including new legislation, the existing automatic cost-of-living adjustment taking effect, or a final non-appealable court order. Back-pay awards, preliminary court rulings, and raises limited to leadership positions or specific offices do not qualify.
Only reporting from any of the Source Agencies qualifies for the purposes of this market. Reports that merely reference prior publications (from before Issuance) do not qualify. Republishing of content originally produced by other sources (e.g., wire services) only qualifies if the content is hosted on the outlet's official platform and the outlet is clearly identified as the publishing entity.
early_close_conditionThis market will close and expire early if the event occurs.
