This one-person veto in the Senate happened to me in 1981. Some yahoo Senator put a hold on the entire promotion list for the Air Force for about 9 months because of one name he didn’t like. Meanwhile, several hundred of us cooled our heels one rank lower than we should have been. When the list was finally released, we got retroactive date of rank adjustments but NOT retroactive pay. Cost me about $3000.

Yep.
Lost six months of Captain’s pay back in 1994 because of our congress-critters.

Nixon froze everything in the early 70s.

Cost me a bundle as well.
