Bill overview
The Make America Govern Again Act (MAGA Act) aims to ensure that federal employees receive their pay during government shutdowns and to prevent the salaries of Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President from being affected. Specifically, it establishes escrow accounts to hold congressional and executive branch salaries during shutdowns, releasing them only after the shutdown ends. The bill also prohibits the payment of salaries to certain executive employees during a shutdown, focusing on those in high-level policy and executive positions.
