Original Note:
Members are paid because their compensation is literally written into the Constitution. Article I, Section 6 states: "The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/government-shutdown-2023-does-congress-get-paid/
