Currently, Congress sets the compensation for the Supreme Court Justices. This puts the compensation in the area of political debate and decisions which can only cause problems.
The New Constitution corrects this problem. First, in the definition of terms in the Preamble, there is a definition of compensation:
“Compensation” includes current and future monies accrued or paid to a Person by the United States, plus items of value accrued or paid for by the United States including, but not limited to, living expenses, health care and retirement benefits.
In the New Constitution, the House of Representatives can recommend a change in compensation for the Supreme Court Justices. The recommend is given to The People and The People vote “yes” or “no” on the recommendation. In a binding referendum, the “owners” now approve the compensation of its Supreme Court Justices.
This Section also approves ten days of vacation a year for each for the Supreme Court Justices.
Section 1.7 also requires a binding referendum for approval of compensation for members of Congress.
