Can members of congress retire on full pay after serving one term?
U.S. Federal law prevents any member of Congress from receiving a starting retirement annuity of more than 80% of his or her final salary. That alone makes clear that no member of Congress is able to collect 100% of their salary if they do not serve more than one termregardless of whythey did not serve more than one term. A retired member of Congress can never collect more than 80% of their final salary prior to retiring -- ever.
