What does the 27th amendment state?
The 27 Amendment states, "No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened." Basically it means that if the 1/3 of the Congress and ALL of the House of Representatives vote to have their pay raised, they don't get a pay raise until after elections in two years. The two years that is given is so that the citizens can carefully consider whether or not to vote for the raises. It was originally meant to prevent the Congressmen from getting pay raises every year. However, Congress voted, and won, itself a Cost of Living Allowance (COLA). The COLA does not count as a raise so therefore Congress can vote itself little raises that nobody will notice every two years. I hope that helped! If you just google it it's all over the Internet.

What is the role of bicameral conference committee?
Bills or "suggested laws" are put forward by either Congress or Senate but it has to be approved by both bodies before it can proceed to become law. There are some cases where the version of the bill approved by Congress is different from the one in the Senate or vice-versa. The bill cannot be passed if it has multiple forms because then multiple laws will be created, and each version needs to be approved by both Congress and Senate. To resolve this issue, a bicameral conference committe is created which takes representatives from both Congress and Senate and they unify the two differing bills into one coherent law. - Popi Sunga
