Answer:

D. Any pay increase Congress votes for itself cannot go into effect until after the next congressional election had taken place.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because of the 27th amendment, which decides how the congress is paid. Their votes for their pay do not go into effect until the next congressional election has taken place.
