Nearly 4 in 10 members of the U.S. House of Representatives did not take their pay during the government shutdown, according to an ABC News survey of congressional offices. That group included the leaders of both parties in the House, Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., whose offices confirmed to ABC News that they asked for the pay to be withheld for the duration of the shutdown. "I made clear to my constituents that my check will be withheld," Jeffries said on CNN recently. Unlike their staffers and federal workers, members of Congress and delegates are guaranteed pay by the Constitution during a government shutdown. The House was set to vote on reopening the government Wednesday, which could lead to the government reopening later this week. Overal
