President Barack Obama issued an executive order to end the pay freeze on federal employees, in effect giving some federal workers a raise. One federal worker now to receive a pay increase is Vice President Joe Biden.
According to disclosure forms, Biden made a cool $225,521 last year. After the pay increase, he'll now make $231,900 per year.
Members of Congress, from the House and Senate, also will receive a little bump, as their annual salary will go from $174,000 to 174,900. Leadership in Congress, including the speaker of the House, will likewise get an increase.

Permalink Reply by Scott on December 28, 2012 at 1:37pm It is "illegal" for Oblaimer to sign an "Executive Order" that affects "pay!" Congress control's the purse-strings and the POTUS cannot do it according to the Constitution! Once again he has "overstepped" his authority and should be Impeached! However, without the Senate, he knows that this will never happen!
The House can still stop it. No money can be spent without their approval, if they bother to do their sworn duty.
